Feel the Fear...and Do It Anyway

Feel the Fear...and Do It Anyway (1988) by Susan Jeffers, 209 pgs.

Fear is an integral part of the human experience. It was ingrained into our ancestors who needed its signals to flee from wild animals and natural disasters--but in the modern era, sometimes our fear response actually holds us back rather than protecting us. In this self-help guide, Dr. Susan Jeffers outlines her theories about fear and her advice on how to overcome it. 

I am not usually a big self-help reader, but I enjoyed this one. It is a little bit dated--Dr. Jeffers often tells you to "put on a tape" or use another form of older technology--but the overall advice holds up relatively well. This book is all about reminding yourself that you are stronger than you may think. You can handle whatever life throws your way.
