The dictionary defines phobia as a persistent, irrational fear that can interfere with the ability to socialize, work, or go about everyday life.In this hilarious collection of essays by entertainment industry veteran, Roger Lefkon-a self-proclaimed world-classphobic-readers will surely identify with at least one fear that strikes close to home.This book is by no means written from a medical or scientific point of view and is certainly not meant to be prescriptive.But since, as the saying goes, laughter is the best medicine, The World Is A Really Scary Place does provide somemedicinal value. While reading this laugh-out-loud collection, you may not be cured of what ails you, but you will be entertained and feel better just knowing you're not Roger Lefkon.Praise for The World Is A Really Scary Place"A great book for neurotics everywhere.....that would be everyone I know."David Steinberg Comedian/Director"If you read this....obviously...you'll read anything...but if you do read it you'll agree with me that it's a very funny book about a subject that affects all of us, including me and my fear of egg whites."Marv AlbertEmmy Award -winning sportscaster and member of the Basketball Hall of Fame "Always a fan. You're neurotic enough to be a very successful stand-up comedian. Funny book, keep the phobias coming."Budd FriedmanFounder of the Improv Comedy Club "Only Roger Lefkon realized how much humor there can be in people and their phobias. This book is funny, thought-provoking, and completely original. It's a great read and a great gift for anyone who has a phobia (which is all of us)."Arnold ShapiroOscar and Emmy Award-winning producer"How can an illogical situation seem almost logical? A pretty good question that Roger Lefkon seems to have harnessed in a hilarious book that anyone who has a phobia will be able to relate to, including me. To this day I cannot look a herring in the eye (with or without cream sauce). So read Roger's book, enjoy it and be thankful that you are you."Cousin Bruce MorrowSirius XM Satellite Radio "Roger Lefkon's book has created a new phobia for me--a phobia of being placed in a straight jacket for laughing uncontrollably in public with this magnificent collection of essays in my hand."Stephen Maitland-LewisAward-Winning Author
