Fears of Your Life - Paperback

by Michael Bernard Loggins (Author), Harrell Fletcher (Preface by)

I write down my fears, my scariness and my frightfulness. This is an understanding process. It helps me real good.--Michael Bernard Loggins

Everybody has fears in common, and in this unique handwritten book, the author (an adult with developmental disabilities) battles his fears by listing more than 138 of them. This new edition of the cult classic made famous by NPR's This American Life includes 60 new pages of illustrated portraits from the previously unpublished How Fearful Can You Be?

Michael Bernard Loggins lives in San Francisco, California, and worked for many years with Creativity Explored, an art studio for adults with developmental disabilities.
