Self-improvement is necessarily about finding some secret formula, getting the right therapist, or moving to a new city. It's about being told those thing you know to be true over and over until they sink in. Feel the Fear is about those things we know to be true yet seem to forget: Blaming others for our failures, blaming ourselves for things we should have done better, listening to that "little voice" that tells us what we shouldn't do.
It's not the kind of book you read once only to emerge a changed person, rather, it gets your mind going. After one reading, you'll find yourself quoting passages as if someone has "found you out". You will catch yourself in conversation when you say weak phrases like "I can't, I should, It's a problem" only to change them mid-sentence to empowering words such as "I won't, I could, and It's an opportunity".
Read it twice. It will impact you deeply. It will teach you to take responsibility. There is no silver bullet. Self-awareness is the real path to self-improvement. I loved it. |

Regardless of your age, this book should be read by everyone. I was told to read this book by my supervisor, and now it has changed my life forever. The book discusses ways of overcoming our chatterbox. More importantly, it guides you to overcoming any fear you face. Now, I feel that regardless of what is thrown at me I can handle it. We should never have any fear! It's the best book I have ever read dealing with personal growth. |

I was given this book by my older sister when I had reached an impasse in my life, where I felt that no one could understand what I was experiencing internally, and I could not seem to move on to the next "chapter." Too much in my life seemed out of my control. It was fear that kept me from reaching outside of this zone of powerlessness. Once I began to read this book, I began to clearly see that my fears were not unfounded, yet I had allowed them to assert too much influence on my outward behavior. I not only finished the book in two days, I dedicated my life to Christ and I have not allowed myself remain stagnant in any area of my life for very long. I allowed a former friend to borrow my book and he has made excuse after excuse for not returning it! Obviously the information contained is of great value to him as well!
This is a MUST HAVE book for us all, to be re-read occasionally for reinforcement of the principles contained therein, to combat and destroy those "inner voices" and demonic entities that attempt to convince us that "WE CAN'T" reach our goals. BUY IT TODAY! Thank you Cynthia, for giving me such a gem. And to Mr. Faulk, cough up my property pronto, because you've monopolized it for too long! |

This is a truly wonderful book. I don't know how she did it. Conversationally speaking, did you know that the fears we carry in our pockets or purses that are not dealt with cause excruciating anxiety. What do we do? Add Vitamin B to our diet? Put crystals in our pockets? Become a yogi like me and levitate until your head hits the ceiling? OR... we could do what we fear. How about that for an idea. I think they spell that C-O-U-R-A-G-E. We don't need courage anymore. We have tranquilizers and self-help books. I want to give you a beautiful quote from this lady's infinite wisdom (she's incredible!). Pushing Through Fear Is Less Frightening Than Living With The Underlying Fear That Comes From A Feeling Of Helplessness.
This book is just beautiful. The book advocates COURAGE. But she she shows you how to be courageous. Positive thinking, the understanding between Pain and Power, the Real truth about Risks and Growth. You have to buy this book. It is a true gemstone. Throw all your other self-help books away except this one and "Self-Help Stuff That Works" by Adam Khan. Since I am a Self-Realizationist (Yogananda), this book interfaces with it quite beautifully. But this book is all you need for your fears. Go ahead. And stop looking at whether you had a traumatic childhood or not as Father Bradshaw advises. You destroy the past by what you do in the future. And this book will help you do it. Good luck. And I'm not afraid of you anymore! HA! |

This book is such an extremely wonderful collection of ideas and "exercises" that has helped me see the world in a much more positive way. It expanded my life and my ability to handle situations and relationships in my life. It helped me to see the importance of taking responsibility for myself and my actions and to quit blaming people and situations for some of my discontent. Thinking of life as a journey and hence learning from each experience, I have a much more positive outlook. Susan Jeffers is able to clarify so many things in this book. It's amazing how so much can be right in front of you, but it takes a very caring and articulate person to point it out. She is that person. I thank her for this wonderful book and I hope that whoever reads this review will read this book because I am sure you will experience life in a much richer and fulfilling way. |

This book should be distributed to every teenager in every school in every country. We'd have a far happier world. I'm 30 now and my ONLY regret in life is not having read this earlier and avoided making both myself and others miserable. From page one I recognized the negative attitudes that have stifled me these past few years. Actually laughed when I recognized myself and realized that I always had the power and have the power to change everything. Laughed when I recognized familiar situations. It's all so simple ! Just needed someone to spell it out.
Pity I didn't read this before I drove away the most wonderful woman in my life, but hey at least I've learned for the future. I read this regularly and it's changed my life. |

So much about achieving anything worthwhile isn't just about "doing." It's also about "being" - the understanding of where we are now, the sensing of ourselves in the moment. This is probably the toughest thing to understand when moving forward on a goal. On the other side of fear is exhilaration, great power. Once we get this concept of "feeling the fear," and sense it deep within our bones, the transformation can be spectacular as we rise to battle and defeat a most scary foe. So what's the downside of feeling the fear? Absolutely nothing. It's a good thing. It helps us know when we are most aware and whether we're on track. Like sadness and pain, it's an integral part of a well-lived life. |

This book takes a common-sense approach to fear. I read it about seven years ago, and have found some of its ideas and concepts very helpful:
- Fear doesn't go away until you do what you fear. If you're afraid to place an important phone call, the only way to lose that fear is to go ahead and call.
- There's no such thing as people who are afraid to fly, but people who refuse to board a plane. Many who fear flying board planes all the time - they don't let an unreasonable fear control their lives.
- To avoid debilitating fear in any area we should make sure our lives are well-rounded. Her 'grid' is very useful in this.
- Making a decision will always involve giving something up, i.e. what you would have gained if you had made another or the opposite decision.
Jeffers also urges us to lighten up, and for a society of drama queens that's sound advice!
Worth reading if you're plagued by self-doubts and are feeling unhappy with your decisions. |

This book set me free from false, self-imprisoning beliefs I didn't even know I had!
Dr. Jeffers talks about no-lose decisions. Either way you go, you win. You get "goodies," meaning the experience of life, either way. I had always thought that one had to agonize, think, pray, talk to people, get advice and finally make the absolutely right decision or else all would be lost. How freeing it is to realize I can't go wrong. I get to experience life in all it's fullness either way.
Another section of the book teaches us to make connections in at least nine areas of our life. So many of us connect with just our work, or with our mate, or with a child. When we lose our one and only connection, we are devastated. She teaches us to have and nurture connections in several areas. That way when we lose one, we are hurt, but we can still move on.
Finally, I always thought that when I felt fear it was a sign that perhaps I should back off. Dr. Jeffers teaches that if you're not feeling fear, you're not growing. Fear is just part of life. We all have an internal "chatterbox" that talks at us constantly and tells us all the reasons why we can't do something. Our job is to overcome the chatterbox and she effectively teaches us how to do so. |

I am a clinical social worker and have recommended this book to countless clients. It is an excellent introduction to cognitive-behavioral techniques and is helpful in dealing with a wide range of issues, from a breakup of a relationship to a job change to general self-esteem improvement. I especially like the exercises that give the reader an opportunity to try out the theories and apply them to everyday life. Some of her phrases (like "chatterbox") are corny and she repeats them too often, but try to look past it. The content is worth it. |
