He believes that fearism as a school of thought, will offer an expanding opportunities into the study of fear and it related challenges.

In suggesting a workable methodology to the solution to fear problems, the author adopted unification- complementary approach, where fear and fearless (the opposites) are investigated in a unified and complementary manner in order to have a complete knowledge about fear. He uses love -courage as the method for decision making within the framework of fearism.

The book is a must read for all those who want to use fear positively to confront their existential challenges.
