Master Your Fears: How to Triumph Over Your Worries and Get on with Your Life

by Linda Sapadin

Here's a quick overview of the kinds of skills you'll learn. Thinking your way out of fear.  You'll learn how to reframe how you think about a fearful situation and learn to shift from obsessive rumination to solution-oriented thinking. Learning how to assess risk versus reward will be another great asset in helping you make decisions in scary situations.  Speaking your way out of fear. Like worried thinking, worried speech can have a burdensome effect on your psyche. Habitually speaking to others or to yourself with gloomy, heavy words creates mental and physical anguish that can be as heavy to bear as bad events you actually live through. Freeing your body from fear. Fear is felt in the body in many ways - from tension and tightness to aches, pains and fatigue. Even when the mind doesn't remember, the body does. By learning movement exercises, deep breathing techniques and the power of music, you can ease the fear you feel in your body; then be more open to what life has to offer. Acting your way out of fear. Many people believe that courage means feeling no fear. In fact, courageous people do feel fear, yet they have the ability to take action despite the fear. This book will teach you how to do what must be done, even when it's tough or terrifying!

I read and enjoy Dr. Sapadin's blog, so when I saw she wrote a book, I decided to read it. I was not impressed, and did not really care for the book. I found it boring, and the examples incomplete and not enough. A very disappointing read.
