Synopsis

On the heels of Dr. Mark McDonald’s bestselling book United States of Fear: How America Fell Victim to a Mass Delusional Psychosis, the acclaimed author and psychiatrist follows up with a practical, personal, twelve-step recovery program to defeat fear addiction worldwide.

The pandemic of fear continues to grip our world long past the clinical effects of COVID-19. Many people cannot let go of the fear fueling the Mass Delusional Psychosis which has plagued millions since early 2020. In his latest book, Freedom from Fear, Dr. Mark McDonald applies his well-honed psychiatric acuity to the undiagnosed epidemic of fear addiction. Just like a drug, fear becomes an unhealthy mental and emotional dependency that must be broken. In Freedom from Fear, Dr. McDonald presents the essential twelve-step guide to personal and worldwide recovery. His precepts include simple but practical steps like “Face the Mirror,” “Don’t be a Sheep,” “Choose Reality,” “Reject Narcissism,” “Think for Yourself,” “Embrace Adulthood,” “Pay Attention,” and “Embrace Fearless Leadership.” Bold and straightforward, Dr. McDonald once again draws on his experience as a psychiatrist and physician to diagnose this worldwide affliction. In this companion book to United States of Fear, he prescribes the consummate treatment plan for eradicating this Mass Delusional Psychosis once and for all.

From the Back Cover

"After the United States of Fear, there is a new sheriff in town—Dr. Mark McDonald who is going straight after the problem itself—fear. As if he has walked into a saloon, but instead of row of drunks, all the patrons are addicted to fear and huddled together, joyless, and pensive. Using well-constructed brief narratives of prototypical vignettes, McDonald throws a lasso around the problem of fear addition fueled by others who are in the same grip, and constructively navigates our return into the real world. First up on the list of perps is the "dealer" at the table of fear—the media. Turning off the constant flow of fear-porn and propaganda allows us to begin to think for ourselves and recognize the harm fear can do in our lives. Breaking this bondage is liberating, allowing us to care for others in earnest, including their wellbeing, with personal decisions such as vaccination. McDonald shoots bullets of truth around humor and shows us how to be bold, relentless, and fearless in our pursuit to restore normalcy. With McDonald's practical approach, we can leave the United States of Fear and restore our country that was founded by some of the most intrepid men and women of all time. Freedom from Fear is a page-turner, drawing us closer to reality with each readily recognizable scene. Now we can constructively and collectively break the addiction of fear and resume life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

"Mass delusion is a form of psychosis that has gripped society, or parts of society, from time to time. During these times, the greatest risk of course is mob actions from mob mentality. The remedy for mass delusional psychosis is provided by Dr. McDonald. Freedom from Fear will remind those who have forgotten that surrendering control of your life out of fear has always been a pathway to destruction and mass casualties. This book will help America get a firm grip on reality again."
—James Lyons-Weiler, PhD, CEO & President, The Institute for Pure and Applied Knowledge

"Freedom From Fear is absolutely brilliant. Not only does he succinctly present the very concerning and foundational problem we are facing but also offers solutions. This is a must have book to add to your library if you are the least bit interested in what has been occurring in our world the past few years. Fear is the real disease that we have been facing, not Covid, and it is without doubt highly infectious, as well as eminently deadly."
—Todd Hayen, PhD, RP, author of Ancient Egypt and Modern Psychotherapy
