Author Biography

Anthony Gunn is a psychologist whose personal experience with phobias began when he underwent emergency surgery without anaesthetic in Honduras during an exchange year just after high school. The experience left him profoundly fearful of medical procedures, but through his training he overcame his own phobia and now helps others deal with their own. He gives regular talks, has written for magazines and appears on radio talking about phobias and is developing a name for himself as a phobia expert. He has written two other books: Fear is Power: Turn Your Fears into Success; and Walking Tall: Overcoming Life's Little Challenges.
