Pill for Fear: Universal Rules

This Russian self‑help psychology book by psychotherapist Andrey Kurpatov, originally published in 2006 as "1 Totally Secret Pill for Fear" and republished in 2020 within the "Universal Rules" series, serves as a practical guide to understanding the nature of fear and how to overcome it; the author explains in detail how fears arise from survival instincts, social and sexual mechanisms—revealing the evolutionary and psychological roots of anxiety—and then offers a set of universal rules and techniques—from recognizing fear’s origins to breathing exercises, muscle strategies, cognitive analysis, and behavioral practices—while including real therapy examples, handy pdf tables, and reader stories, with the ultimate goal of demonstrating that freeing oneself from fear and returning to a normal, happy life is achievable for anyone who knows "where it hides and how to smoke it out"
