Ride the Wild Ghost Train: An allegory about facing fears

Ride the Wild Ghost Train is an allegory is about the struggles of life and how we benefit from applying courage. It uses the image of a train driven by ghosts to ask how we might face our fears and subsequently get more out of life. The book suggests that by moving up towards the front of the train towards our ghosts we get to join them driving the train. Surprisingly at the front things get a lot easier. Moving towards the back of the train away from the ghosts paradoxically makes for a less comfortable ride. Life demands of us questions about achievement and boldness in the face of stress. Life has successes and knock-backs, but always it is how you respond and act/not act. The story is about how courage (in the words of Amelia Earhart) delivers peace.
