 Boilerplate self-help platitudes August 6, 2008
I had high hopes for this book, based on the reviews by readers. The premise of the book is very good: accept your fears, learn to deal with them effectively and they will no longer be obstacles. The book however fails to follow up on this interesting concept, and instead delivers endless platitudes about making cassettes or leaving cards and post-its notes with "I am good and strong and capable and doggoneit, I deserve it". Very disappointing since the underlying concept is indeed solid. Avoid.
 Simple Truths February 10, 2008

A great book, overall. I can understand others complaints of it being a little bit simplistic, but sometimes our greatest problems are based on simplistic thinking. When I read that I would feel afraid each and every time I stepped out of my comfort zone - that was very freeing. She also says that everyone else is afraid too! Hey, perhaps fear is a normal part of life and we shouldn't beat ourselves up so much about it! A practical, easy to read book full of simple truths.

I was fired from my job, which was my greatest fear. A friend told me about Feel the Fear, it has really helped me deal with my thoughts about what to do with my life after being fired. Another book that helped me is Rat Race Relaxer: Your Potential & The Maze of Life by JoAnna Carey.
Not a must have book... May 20, 2004
6 out of 10 found this review helpful
It seems too strange to see those raving possitive reviews, After reading over 100 self help books and 3 books related to overcomming fear. I think this book is very simple and does not really have anything powerful insights. For example if you want to do some affirmations everyday or hype yourself up that you can "do it anyway"... than this book is for you. I personally recomend the "sedona" book. it will set you free and let you deal with fear in a much more unique and effective way.
Feel the Fear and Embrace Your Life. Excellent Book! April 13, 2004

I bought this wonderful book many years ago, and have recommended it to countless people. Susan Jeffers does a truly remarkable job to help you recognize the doubts, insecurities, the "chatterbox" in your mind, and helps you to face your fears squarely so you CAN move beyond them. Written with heartfelt and genuine compassion, this book is outstanding for anyone who feels fear in the constant change of life. Fear CAN be overcome. Jeffers provides wonderful exercises, analogies, and charts with great information such as: "Seven Ways to Reclaim Your Power" which are (quoted from the book) Avoid casting blame on an external force for your bad feelings about life... " Avoid blaming yourself for not being in control..." "Be aware of when you are playing the victim role..." "Familiarize yourself with your biggest enemy - your Chatterbox..." "Figure out payoffs that keep you stuck...(so you will be) able quickly to become 'unstuck'" "Determine what you want in life and act on it..." Jeffers provides wonderful tools to help you have a balanced life, in all areas in the chapter: "How Whole is Your 'Whole Life'". Her "say Yes to Your Universe" topic is entirely helpful to keep you in the moment, where you are empowered to move forward with acceptance. You ARE in charge, no matter what circumstances are facing you, you do carry the ability to determine how you are going to respond to it, by either "playing the victim" or moving forward as you CHOOSE to. I absolutely love the page in the back of the book "The Choice is Mine" where she gives great one line awareness of "When I am Tuned Into My Chatterbox" and "When I am Tuned into My Higher Self" (I'll just give you the first line) "I try to control" "I trust." Susan Jeffers' work is authentic and invaluable. If you feel fear in your life, this book will help you move forward. Highly recommended! Barbara Rose, author of, 'Individual Power' and 'If God Was Like Man'
