Fear Less: Transforming Fear Into Courage within Relationships, Career,
Society, and Self is a reminder that we are not alone in living with
fears. Fear is an instinct that can be overwhelming, but it is possible
to step into fear, confront and learn from it, and carry on. Within
these pages are stories of overcoming the debilitating fears we face
from relationships; childhood trauma; insecurities and rejection; growth
and success; change; social and cultural norms, expectations, and
prejudice; and being an entrepreneur--fear of the unknown and
unexpressed. Fear, in its truest form, keeps us alive; it ignites the
fight or flight tendency. We view fear in today's society as a weakness
that causes anxiety and self-doubt--yet all of us experience it, some on
a daily basis. It holds us hostage, causing us to miss opportunities or
make poor life choices, so how can we regain power and step through
fear? Read through raw, emotional, entertaining, and enlightening
stories from women who may help guide you through the shadows and change
your mindset. As we explore the many facets of fear, and how we get it
to step aside without limiting ourselves, we learn to conquer more.
