B :Feel 8he Fear And Do -t Anwa= b usan ?effers

The sub#ect of this book rests on the following premiseA fear is a necessary and essential element of
life and pushing through fear is actually less frightening than living with a feeling of helplessness.
4usan Beffers highlights the paradox that whilst we seek the security of a life free from fear" this
creates an environment in which we are denied the satisfaction of achievement or development. The
result is a no-win situation in which we experience both a fear of change and a fear of staying the
same. The book introduces a progression of truths that illuminate the crippling effects of fear and build
the case for taking action to address the problem. 0iven that you accept these truths" you can change
your attitude and approach. ' number of simple models and techni!ues are engagingly presented
through a series of first-hand accounts of people at various stages of succumbing to or addressing their
fears. 2hen strung together" these provide a structured programme with which you may set about
changing your attitude and raising your self-awareness and self-esteem.
