This book provides a sensible, tested alternative, with proven strategies that have helped hundreds of people overcome their fears and head happily skyward.Based on the Australian airline Qantas's world-renowned "Fearless Fliers" course, THE FEARLESS FLIER'S HANDBOOK is filled with soothing facts and step-by-step exercises for turning fear into calm and confidence.

Research has shown the most effective treatment for these fears and phobias is an exposure-based, cognitive-behavioral program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you're an armchair traveler, a package deal junkie, or a cruise voyager, and you don't think you have the guts for adventure travel, you're in for a surprise. Adventure travel is not only for the young, the fit, and the fearless! The Fearful Traveler's Companion is a collection of travel stories, tips, and anecdotes that address those fears that have kept 'smarter" people at home. Whether you're afraid of plane crashes or escalators, no fear is too great or too trivial to be scrutinized with a dose of compassion and humor. Travel can be scary business. Even the most seasoned travelers have their personal bêtes noires: aversions to germs, getting caught in a crowd, or even eating alone in a restaurant. But author Chris Card Fuller wants to squash the myth of the fearless traveler. Her refreshing travel therapy submits that each new trip helps you to confront your fears head-on, strengthening your resolve and confidence for trips to even more outlandish destinations!

Book excerpt: Smoky Goes to Europe: A Travel Tale of a Marriage is the humorous story of a pet black bear who accompanies his human parents on a 17-day trip to Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Italy. Besides staying with family living in Bavaria; the author and his wife take Smoky to explore medieval towns along Germany's Romantic Road; stroll Mozart's Salzburg; hike the Swiss Alps, discover a fairytale castle in Bavaria; renew wedding vows in a historic Italian church; and walk enough hills, steps, and streets to make the reader collapse from exhaustion. This story weaves through the history of European countries, provinces, cities, and towns, while embracing the cultures, languages, and incredible scenery of Europe in the spring. Amid the travel tales is the story of the close-knit relationship of a couple who married for the first time later in life and have not spent a single day of that marriage apart. Testimonials from notables profiled in the book "While touring Europe with the Rolling Stones, I made the acquaintance of Herr Amsler and found him to be a greatly troubled man, undoubtedly a result of the same medications I've been consuming. The book? I've never heard of it."-Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. "An artistic nightmare!"-Pablo Picasso "Deeply disturbing! That's all I have time to say. The partisans are coming."-Benito Mussolini. "One of my aides brought this book to my attention and to the author I say this: If I ever catch you anywhere near one of my castles again, I'll have your fingers cut off with a very dull sword and mount your head above my throne."-Your humble servant, King Ludwig II. "Delightfully appalling!"-Napoleon Bonaparte
