This foe is FEAR. It assumes numerous disguises. It appears in
many phases of our daily lives. It has done more to wreck careers
and ruin happiness than all the wars of history. Hordes of earth
toilers believe themselves beyond its influence--while all the
time it is riding their backs and laughing at them.

One reason for this is the common misunderstanding of what fear
really is. Most people think of it only as fearing to meet certain
people, or fearing some accident may happen to them or their loved
ones. Yet there are fears of the future, fears of one's self,
fears of events, fears of natural phenomena, fears of old age,
fears of poverty. And there are still more hidden, stunting fears
developed by the un-religious teachings of blind, bigoted, crafty
Religion.

Therefore our higher advance to MASTERY OF SELF is up the steps of
the following 14 lessons, in which the underlying note is the
everlasting declaration, "I AM COURAGE! WHATEVER BETIDES, THE TRUE
SELF OF ME DEMANDS COURAGE!"

Dr. Haddock will open new views of individual nature, personal
fears, avenues of self-unfoldment, which are wholesome and
uplifting for you. The following lessons are more than a conquest
of fear; they are A GREAT ADVENTURE into the heart of a courageous
life philosophy. They tear away bond after bond of habit, thought
and action which have smothered your true, inner Self.
