'Only Fear Dies' is an extraordinary book that everyone - unhappy, resentful, depressed or just wishing to affirm their joy of life - should read. Barry Long's 'book of liberation' aims to break the chain of negativity and misery we, through generations of affirming the hopeless human plight, have been conditioned to believe, accept and attract. Referring to examples to underline his point, Long writes with a certain wit and clarity that wins the reader's approval immediately, despite some of his controversial arguments. His personification of feelings delivers a kind of immediate presence to his voice that makes one want to read on. 'Only Fear Dies' is about the birth and death of all things that make up an individual's life. Long suggests ways to be vulnerable to love, happiness and accept truth and responsibility for the self. Every avenue available to human consciousness has been unearthed and examined, dissected and analysed so that the reader may find contentment and love within his or herself and rejoice in new-found freedom.
