Rating:  Summary: Down to Earth, Sensible, Inspiring, Simple Yet Profound Review: I actually listened to the tape before I read the book. In both cases I loved Susan Jeffers down-to-earth style. I felt like she was like me and if she could do it, so could I. I found her writing and speaking style to portray her as very approachable. I have since had the opportunity to speak with her on several occasions and found that she "practices what she preaches." I am currently writing my own book and Susan has been somewhat of a mentor for me in getting that process started. I highly recommend this book.
Rating:  Summary: A Talisman for L.I.F.E. Review: For years it was a constant source of amazement to me as to why so many smart, attractive women who basked in an aura of "I have at last got my life together so look out world" were reading 'Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway'. Given their composure and self-confidence what could they possibly get, or need, from one of the great, all-time originals in the self-help stakes that was first published almost a decade ago. Finally, during a morning train ride to the office, I plucked up courage to ask a fellow commuter what could she - with confidence oozing from every pore in her body - possibly get from FTF. "Oh my God", she exclaimed, smiling at me. "It's not what I'm getting and learning from this book now that is the reason for my reading it, it's what I learned when I first read it many years ago and the way that it transformed my life that makes me feel so good about myself and gives me the ability to focus on positives and banish negatives and downers to the trash-can where they belong". "Every so often", she continued, "I get it out and re-read a few chapters just to make sure that I'm still on the right track. To me it's a kind of talisman of life. A re-assurance. Linus has his security blanket and I have my Feel the Fear." By now the train had arrived at the terminus and just before she moved off and disappeared into the crowd she turned, gave me a broad smile and said, " By the way that's life spelt L.I.F.E." Shouldn't someone call Ally McBeal and let her in on the secret.

Rating:  Summary: This book is absolutely awesome. Review: I bought this book for a friend that had a serious vision problem, I intended to read it to her, but after I started to read it, I realized that I was the one with the problem. This book totally opened my eyes to a better way of living. It has taught me how to truly 'handle' all aspects of my life and even though it is not a 'religious' book, I feel that it's principles are parallel with my own personal faith. I could not thank you enough for helping me on my journey. I am sure many people share these same feelings.

Rating:  Summary: Simple yet profound Review: I really liked this book because it is a quick read, hopeful and extremely practical. There is nothing confusing or complicated to do to start the process of moving past one's fears. I think Jeffers is very wise to keep it simple and not over complicate the solutions. However, she also makes it clear that it won't happen over night and that one must constantly check themselves. That's not an easy thing to do, to be tuned into your "chatterbox," but I think she really hits the nail on the head by identifying internal negativity as a root of our fears. I will refer back to this book many times.
