This book is an attempt to tell my little story in the simplest possible manner, hence the title, "The First Stage in the Making of the Fearologist." It's a story that chronicles my life from infancy to adulthood up on to my being a fearologist, courtesy of R. Michael Fisher and Desh Subba, and represents my basic philosophy of life. It contains the transition from my negative conception of fear to a positive conception of fear as something that controls and drives life, as my mentor Desh Subba would rightly contend.
