| Summary | "The Conquest of Fear" by Basil King is a philosophical work written during the early 20th century. The text explores the pervasive nature of fear in human life and offers a spiritual perspective on overcoming it, positing that a deep understanding of God and one's self-expression in the world is essential for conquering fear. It delves into personal experiences and reflections, aiming to provide a philosophy of life that contrasts the contemporary materialistic mindset. The opening of the book introduces the author’s struggle with fear throughout his life, presenting it not as an isolated experience but as a common challenge faced by almost everyone. In the initial chapters, King reflects on the various fears that haunt individuals—from childhood apprehensions to adult anxieties regarding job security, illness, and loss. He warns against relying solely on materialistic solutions for fear, emphasizing the need for a spiritual approach. King begins to outline his journey towards personal growth, revealing how an understanding of the life-principle and a relationship with God can transform fear into a catalyst for strength and progress in life.
