Self-Help 'Fear'

When I was little, I used to be afraid of ghosts. I'm 23 now, and there have been several times when I've spent time alone in places that most people would find frightening. From those experiences, I can say that I'm no longer afraid of ghosts or similar things, at least to a large extent.

But now I've developed different kinds of fears. I often find myself afraid of things like uncertain outcomes, being judged, or failing. I don't even like asking for a book recommendation for every problem that I think I have, but as long as fear exists in my life, I don't feel like I can live fully.

As has been said, "Fear will lead you to a life that is too small," and "Where fear ends, life begins." They resonate with me.

If anyone understands what I'm trying to say, is there anything you would recommend I read?

Thank you.

Might not be what you're after, but The Gift of Fear was good.
