«The Society of Timid Souls: Or, How to Be Brave» is the non-fiction essay by Polly Morland, published by Profile Books in hardback (312 pages, in English).
Polly Morland, a British documentary filmmaker, investigates whether courage is innate or can be learned. She reconstructs the Society of Timid Souls, founded in 1942 against stage fright, and interviews people who acted bravely: a woman who performed a caesarean on herself, a surfer facing a deadly sea, freedom fighters and emergency workers.
The book received the RSL Jerwood Award and was shortlisted for the Guardian First Book Award.
For readers interested in psychology, self-improvement and essays based on real testimonies.
