About the book
Courage, Robert Biswas-Diener argues, is more a matter of managing fear than of not feeling it, and it can be learned. He finds that most brave people do not recognize their own bravery and that everyone already has some form of courage. Drawing on examples, studies and interviews from places as far apart as Greenland and Kenya, he distinguishes general, personal and civil courage and describes the kinds of people who show each. He offers guidelines for building courage and the qualities that strengthen it, along with anecdotes of real-world bravery from many cultures. Biswas-Diener also writes a popular blog for Psychology Today.
Stephen Lew of The School of Positive Psychology mentioned it in an interview as a book he would point young people in his field toward.
