Dorothy Rowe

"Dorothy Rowe's is the calm voice of reason in an increasingly mad world."
Sue Townsend

In the modern world, fear is the great unmentionable. We fear loss, bereavement, old age, death, rejection and failure - but most of all the annihilation of the self. Yet all of this we keep to ourselves, wary of being seen to be weak.

But, as the renowned psychologist Dorothy Rowe argues, it is only by having the courage to acknowledge and face our fears that we can find sustaining happiness. In Beyond Fear, a book that has changed the lives of thousands of people, Dorothy Rowe explains how to recognize the need for change and how to bring it about.
