Dr. Joseph Murphy has been acclaimed as a major figure in the human potential movement and a best-selling author of the genre. Born in 1898, he was educated in Ireland and England. Years of research studying the world's major religions convinced him that some great power lay behind them all: The power is within you! He taught, counseled, and lectured to thousands all over the world for nearly 50 years. In this book, written in 1946, he discusses how to conquer fear. "Do the thing you are afraid to do and the death of fear is certain. Say to yourself and mean it, 'I am going to master this fear,' and you will."
