Almost everyone fears certain things or events: illness, loss of job or partner, rejection and criticism, or simply strangers, snakes, spiders, elevators, or flying. These fears block us in our daily lives and affect our quality of life. People who go through life without fear are demonstrably healthier, more successful, more popular, and above all, happier.

The depth psychologist Andreas Winter, known for his unconventional approaches, has a simple yet astonishing answer: "Fears disappear when we understand them!" Because they are all unconsciously acquired in childhood and serve to protect a child from losing control. Those who know the cause of their fear will find the antidote.
