Let's take a fresh look at our perception of risk. Maybe we can cultivate an attitude to risk that helps us all to live life to the full instead of becoming increasingly fearful. If we can find a way of talking about risk in simple terms, we might be able to stop scaring ourselves to death and start enjoying life more!

Risk is everywhere, of course, and the study of risk involves the fields of mathematics, psychology, sociology, religion, communication... and more. The aim of this website... and the upcoming book Cool Risk... is to bring some of the threads together in a light-hearted way. I hope you enjoy what you read here, even if it doesn't persuade you to take up nude mountaineering!
