We are the healthiest, wealthi-

”
of the great paradoxes of our time.
― Daniel Gardner. (2008) The Science of Fear: Why We Fear the Things We Shouldn't--and Put Ourselves in Greater Danger
Human beings are creatures with complicated cogitation. We have abundant distinct emotional reactions, even under a reaction, we conceal more affections without awareness. You may have thought about what makes you feel happy or sad, but have you thought about why you are afraid? What is fear? How was it caused? However, everyone living in this generation has been forced to raise more different fear factors. We possess the convenience of life brought by high technology, while the latent fear is eroding us bit by bit. In this book, you can attempt to explore self-fear if you are curious about what it is. Let us regress toward fear itself. What is the essence of fear? You can think of this book as a self-examination pre-departure manual for the next itinerary.

03. There are a lot of peculiar emotional response from human, which thanks to the human race was given a brain can able to process numerous intricate transactions. However, do you know where is the principal part of the brain to dominate fear? The answer is amygdala which is the subcortical center of the *limbic system. When individual animals encounter a noxious stimulation, speciďŹ c areas of the brain's amygdala would learn to fear, creating a memory of fear. Therefore, the amygdala, which has the memory of learning fear and releasing fear, plays an extremely signiďŹ cant role when people in crisis. For example, people can able to remember the weaponry of the robbery when they are robbed. Conversely, people who damaged the amygdala will not remember these details.
* The Limbic System contains Hippocampus and Amygdala. It supports a variety of functions such as mood, behavior and long-term memory of the brain structure.
