Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway Review
I have the audio version of this book, and I would recommend the audio version as you can listen to it while you are travelling and/or working at your desk or wherever. For me, fear lead me to prescription drug addiction for over 10 years. (Doctors call it "Dependency" but it's only semantics because I couldn't go a day without my daily dose of benzos/Ambien and SSRI/tricyclic antidepressants., (SSRI's didn't have any effect on me except making me more depressed, Tricyclics worked, but made me FAT!, HUGELY overweight, but everyone's chemical makeup is different so listen to YOUR doctor and track your moods and the effects the the prescriptions have on you, because they do appear to work fine for some people.) Anyway, with me, the side-effects withdrawals--especially from benzos--were horrible: Panic attacks, insomnia, muscle pain, headaches, HUGE weight gain, massive delayed irritability, paralyzing fear, etc. I was so ornery with my wife and kids.) But the whole time with the drugs, I was trying to get away from FEELING the pain, fear and anxiety that I've had for so long. This book is amazing, enlightening, and so comforting. I am in my 40's now, and for the last 30+ years I unknowingly projected "victim." If you project victim, you most will certainly become one. Bullying children and even some adults, will gladly help you along that road and it will miserable. For me, I felt almost constant terror, panic and helplessness. I felt trapped in it and that there was no way to get out--ever.
When I was five years old our family lost one of my brothers (he was just 11 when it happened), through a freakish accident. It was awful, but after this happened, our daily, constant, conditioning from my parents was "*PLEASE* BE CAREFUL because we couldn't bare losing another one of you!" It doesn't surprise me at all that my parents said that so much, because it was a brutal blow when my brother died. I really don't know how they got through it, except for their faith in God and love for each other and the rest of us children. I have a wife and four children of my own now, and I can totally relate to how my parents dealt with this and how it must have been the most dark, despairing time of their lives. I love and respect and revere them SO much! And I pray I never will have to go through losing a child, (they are so priceless to us), and I'm not sure I will ever get rid of that fear completely.
Nevertheless, the "I'll handle it" motto--introduced in the very beginning of this book--is very important for everyone of us to learn, because LIFE is all about pain and loss!!! Pain and loss are inevitable, but misery is a CHOICE! This books rocks. I was able to listen to the whole thing in about an hour and a half (with some pausing for interruptions) and now I listen to it over and over again. By the way, I think I am going to go the audio-book route from now on for all books, because it allows me to multi-task.
I have stopped taking 2 of my prescription drugs, with one left to wean myself off of. This book is AWESOME. If you read to the end of my droning on in this review, I congratulate you.

Everyone feels fear - the solution is to face it! - Gudjon Bergmann - Austin, TX, USA
This may be one of my all time favorite self-development book. The title says it all "Feel the Fear... and Do It Anyway". Well that's what I thought until I read the pages. Susan Jeffers approaches the subject of fear in a thought out and practical way, and offers easy to implement solutions that reduce fear and spur action.
