Good point, not well told. Examines the real likelihood of bad things happening to us, and why we should worry a lot less. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0230712215, Paperback)

We live in a society governed by fear. Packets of peanuts may contain nuts, our children are locked away safe indoors, and we are encouraged to fear risks that previous generations took for granted. The result is a temptation never to leave the house. How to Live Dangerously is a sane, straight-talking, wonderfully entertaining manifesto that assesses the real risks of modern-day life, and encourages us to embrace a new freedom in the way we live. Sometimes, stuff happens but you may as well get out there and enjoy yourself while you can because, in the end, you're a long time dead.
