Nerve: Adventures in the Science of Fear - Eva Holland with Ben Goldfarb

If this year is making you anxious, you’re not alone. For an unflinching look into all things sweat-inducing, join Auntie’s Bookstore for a virtual event featuring author Eva Holland, whose new book Nerve: Adventures in the Science of Fear combines research with daring experiments to understand what fear is and how it can be harnessed. Fear comes in many shapes — the loss of a parent, skydiving from an airplane — and Holland has stared down all of them, big and small, hers and ours, and returned to shed some hard-earned wisdom on the subject. Come away with inspiration to face your own worst nightmares, or at least some secondhand courage to consider it. Holland will be in conversation with Spokane-based environmental journalist and author Ben Goldfarb.
