Yeah, what's the deal with the fear.

Objectification is the process by which an abstract concept is treated as if it is a concrete thing or physical object. In this sense the term is synonym to reification.

What's wrong with 'How to deal with fear'? Seems fine to me. Clarity rules.

Also, they mean different things. You can deal with fear without objectifying it and vice versa.

Snow-Monkey, I'm female. I take offence at being called a 'dude'. :mad:

Say:

View/deal (with) your fears objectively.

If that's what you're driving at.

How about: "We have nothing to fear but a lack of methodology for the objectification of fear itself - a Snow-Monkey's self-help guide to coping with the phenomenon of terror in the 21st century".

Is that boring enough?
