Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway: How to Turn Your Fear and Indecision into Confidence and Action

Product Information

The last few years have seen huge changes for many of us. For some, we may now work from home, which can create imbalance between work and home life. Since there aren’t as many opportunities to visit family and friends, we might have let go of keeping in touch. Perhaps you’ve put a hold on working on personal growth and instead are binging TV shows (and that’s okay!). Things will have changed for everyone. Another point of the book is that the author has added a lot of her own stories and experiences, which I also did not find particularly interesting. As for the advice, it is the classic style of self-help of the abovementioned authors. For example, the ability to relax and a few tips that the author offers. Or positive thinking. Or building relationships with close people like Covey and so on. In general, at some point you come to the conclusion that you have already met half of the text of the book somewhere, that in some other similar books all this has already been mentioned. Plus, a handful of self-evident things. The voice inside your head is just an opinion, she says. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) agrees. Often the voice is not leading you in the right direction, and can contribute to making you feel overwhelmed and discouraged from taking positive action. She calls the voice "the chatterbox," and advises the reader to "not let the chatterbox take over."

I listen to books on my kindle (I turn on "text to speak") as I get ready in the morning for work. I've listened to this book twice now. I swear, I will probably listen to it countless more times. It's amazing how powerful this book is for me. I've struggled with depression most of my life, I am currently going through a divorce, & living alone for the first time in my life. I was, & at times I still feel like a lost puppy... Sysan Jeffers διαφέρει μιας και γενικά έχει σε όλο το βιβλίο μια πολύ θετική στάση και προσπαθεί να ενισχύσει με κάθε τρόπο τους αναγνώστες.Βέβαια με πολλά από αυτά που λέει δεν συμφωνώ όπως ας πούμε ότι εμείς αποκλειστικά φέρουμε την ευθύνη και τον έλεγχο για ότι συμβαίνει στη ζωή μας αλλά δεν πρέπει να αισθανόμαστε άσχημα με τα λάθη μας και ότι μόνο αν συγχωρήσουμε όλους τους ανθρώπους ακόμη και αυτούς που μας έχουν κάνει το μέγιστο κακό θα μπορούμε να πάμε παρακάτω στη ζωή μας και να εξελιχθούμε.Δεν είναι άσχημα αυτά που λέει απλά λίγο αδύνατο να εφαρμοστούν μιας και οι περισσότεροι άνθρωποι δεν έχουν ούτε αυτή την ωριμότητα, ούτε αυτό το μεγαλείο ψυχής, ούτε την αυτοπεποίθηση που χρειάζεται για να το κάνουν. Now however, i am strong enough emotionally to be able to face him and was able t tell him how i feel, of my intentions to change gender, to live my life as any other woman would. Then there's the author saying you should grieve positively - now yes some people can seem to go OTT but that's your opinion. If someone is grieving who the hell are others to judge how they do it? Same with thanking people who make you angry. In concept yes I can see that, and I agree that I am thankful for the things I have gone through as they have made me who I am today. But why the hell should I ever thank the bullies and the twits for making part of my life a living hell?

You can ”know that you count” by starting with Susan’s exercise, Act As If You Really Count. This exercise helps to show you that you can make a difference, no matter what the circumstance. As for the second part of the magic duo, ”The second ingredient you need to have is 100% commitment to all areas of your life that are important to you. For example, when you are with your family, be there 100%—not reviewing work, reading the newspaper, or wishing you were somewhere else. If you commit to giving 100% to all areas of your life, your sense of focus, excitement, participation, enjoyment, fulfillment, and happiness come alive.” She goes on to talk about decision making. Decision making often induces fear because we're scared that if we make the wrong decision it can have disastrous consequences. She suggests that instead of thinking of a decision in terms of a "right choice" and a "wrong choice," we think of them simply as different choices, and that with the right attitude, we can experience growth and fulfillment in our lives regardless of which choice we make. She points out how even in horrible circumstances (losing a job, being diagnosed with cancer, losing a loved one), we are given tremendous opportunities to experience personal growth, and it gives us confidence to emerge triumphant from difficult circumstances. Thousands of people have read ‘feel the fear’, and understood the wisdom in the book. They feel better for a short-term afterwards, but unless they have taken the time to complete the activities which Susan listed in the book, this feel-good feeling dissipates.

Susan Jeffers (March 3, 1938 – October 27, 2012, 74 years old) [1] was an American psychologist and author of self-help literature. The 1980s proved to be a period of change for her. She met Mark Shelmerdine, a British film-maker whom she was to marry in 1985, and started to develop her workshops; a course on facing fear that she taught at Manhattan's New School for Social Research would provide the basis for Feel the Fear. This coincided with a diagnosis of breast cancer and, in 1984, a mastectomy, an experience she faced with her customary confidence and went on to call an "enriching experience". These involve your inner states of mind rather than external factors. These are generalized fears that cut across many areas of life—such as the fear of rejection, failure, success—to reflect your sense of self and abilities. Level 3 fears Looking for more from your reading of Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway? Then you’ll want to take a workshop that further explores the exercises and methods from the book in more detail. The workshops were inspired by Susan’s original classes that she taught before becoming a best-selling author. Not only was Susan was an excellent teacher, she also loved to attend workshops, so her teachings are geared towards a group experience.So, dig out that old version of the Grid of Life, or create a brand-new version. The important thing is to keep asking yourself, ”How whole is my life?” When you can honestly say that you are investing yourself in all the parts of your life that are important to you, you will know the answer. As Susan said: A book that needs to be read a few times. A book that can change your life. I know that is a cliché, but clichés become so because they happen a lot. One thing is certain “Nothing Changes, If Nothing Changes.”

The Lost Years: Surviving a Mother and Daughter’s Worst Nightmare (Kristina Wandzilak and Constance Curry) For me though, this was one of the worst books I have ever had the displeasure to read. The basic idea is good - but the way the author goes about suggesting you conquer it is, to me, beyond simplistic. I will say that this could be due to this being an abridged version of the book, and potentially the bits that were cut were all the bits that provided depth. Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway is one of those rare books which instantly speak to you, deep inside, on a subconscious level, even reading it makes you feel stronger, more powerful than before. She is the author of many internationally renowned books including Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway, Feel the Fear. . .and Beyond, Feel the Fear Power Planner, End the Struggle and Dance With Life, Dare to Connect, Opening Our Hearts to Men, Losing a Love...Finding a Life, Thoughts Of Power and Love, The Little Book of Confidence, Embracing Uncertainty, Life is Huge! plus her "Fear-less Series" of affirmation books and tapes (Inner Talk for Peace of Mind, Inner Talk for a Confident Day, and Inner Talk For a Love That Works). Her latest book is The Feel the Fear Guide to Lasting Love, which was published in the UK in May 2005 and in the US and Canada by her own publishing company, Jeffers Press, in October 2005.In 1972, she not only asked her husband for a divorce, but eventually relinquished custody of their children to him, recognising that, contrary to the prevailing myths about motherhood and parenting, this was the best option for all concerned. She later distilled much of her thinking into I'm Okay … You're a Brat (1996) in which she took on what she saw as over-optimistic and unrealistic attitudes to parenting. She also changed her name, from both her maiden and married one, to Jeffers – a name chosen with her mother after her mother's favourite actor, Anne Jeffreys.
