Warwick Cairns' How to Live Dangerously is a no-nonsense, wonderfully entertaining manifesto on the real dangers of modern life, and an inspiring lesson in why we could all stand to worry a little less and live a whole lot more. We live in a world governed by fear. Fear of second-hand smoke, bacteria, terrorists, bird flu, nuclear energy. The world isn't as safe a place as it once was, as 78 percent of Americans agree. And yet, life expectancy has never been higher. Crime rates have plunged. Even unintentional injuries are down more than fifty percent from half a century ago. So if we're so safe, why are we so afraid? How to Live Dangerously is a hilarious, straight-talking look at the things that terrify us. It considers life's real risks, not to mention the often ridiculous methods we've contrived to keep ourselves "safe." It encourages you to ignore fearmongers and embrace a new kind of freedom, in which we all worry a little less-and live a whole lot more.
