Book: "Scared to Death".
An interesting book about the needless and grossly counter-productive scare-mongering from media and politicians.
Until a few years ago, I still engaged in Blame Casting. I would see a book like this and say: "Yes! It's the media and the politicians! They are the ones ruining our lives."
But more and more I've come to realize that two things are what's ruining our lives:
1: Fear itself.
2: Blame casting.
So I point to this book not to cast more blame, but because it's one of the rare publications pointing out that we have much less to fear than we think.

It is not counter productive. This is how the scare-mongers achieve their goals.
Being scared is counter productive.
