What is your greatest fear?

Phobias are intense, persistent fears.

They hold us back from truly experiencing life – and keep us trapped in a sense of fear and worry.

You may fear darkness. Crowds. Car travel. Flying. Public speaking. Sexual performance. Exams. Terrorist attacks. Violence. Cancer. Dentists. Being alone. Spiders. Snakes. Rats.

You may even suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Whatever phobias you have, they’re stopping you from moving forward.

They’re keeping you trapped in fear – and ensuring you NEVER enjoy the true potential of your life.

Does that sound like you? Are there things that make YOUR heart flutter – from speaking in front of your work colleagues, to nasty big black spiders in your bed, to shocking memories from the past?

Would YOU like to become fearless – and suddenly be totally happy and accepting of those things, no longer worrying and panicking when those situations came up?

Would YOU feel happier if you didn’t “lose control” every time your issue occurred – and instead GAINED control, and handled the situation perfectly?

Would YOU like to release your fears and phobias – within just minutes?

Read on – to learn more about why phobias exist, and how to cure them.

Public Art in Public Schools

It’s not often that public schools are built by famous architects or house artwork by known artists, but author and art historian Michele Cohen has found more than 1,500 works of art in New York City schools and documents them in Public Art for Public Schools (Random, 2009). All the art in the book is compiled in a database, and some of it is available online and includes lesson plans.

The Art of Penguin Science Fiction

[From The Scout Report, Copyright Internet Scout Project 1994-2009. http://scout.wisc.edu/]

Over the years, Penguin Books has acquired quite a reputation for their distinctive book covers and graphic design. This rather unique site explores the history and cover art of science fiction published by Penguin Books from 1935 to 1977. The site was created by James Pardey, and it starts off with an introductory essay that answers the questions: "Why Penguin, and why science fiction?" After reading this short piece, visitors should make their way through the cover collection, which starts off with their iconic orange and white covers in the 1930s. Of course, over the decades the series begins to introduce a series of increasingly surrealistic artistic endeavors that reflect broader changes in the art world. Throughout the site, Pardey provides commentary on each cover, along with information about each edition and its original publication date. First-time visitors might want to start by looking at the covers of "The Death of Grass" by John Christopher and "The Man in the High Castle" by Philip K. Dick

... And to get those "real-life" testimonials, they're giving away trials of this "secret weapon" for just $2.95!

If it doesn't work for you, no big deal... Just cancel it and it won't cost you a penny more.
