Fear

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."
~Franklin D. Roosevelt 
 
This book has a strong underlying message of not being afraid. Be confident and believe in yourself. Bod goes through many frightening situations where he starts to get scared. After that first initial feeling of being scared he mans-up and realizes that fear is all in his head. He gets though many of his adventures safe and sound by not fearing what he is up against.

I believe this book is a good example of how to look at and handle your personal fear. Fear can cause many situations that often lead to a persons downfall or a hard to handle problem. This link below leads to a website that lays out the disorders and diseases fear can cause:
