” Playing it safe means a lifetime of regret “
I enjoyed reading this book on building the courage to face your fear and do the leap you have been putting off for too long.
- When you are living a life that seems comfortable, but still wonder if there is something else for you.
- When you are deeply bored, and miserable, but frozen by the fear of what people will think, or what will happen in you fail.
- When you know what you want, deep down, but you are too scared of the risks that come with moving…
The mechanisms of why so many people choose to stay in their same unsatisfying state because of the fear of the unknown is fascinating. Or should I say, why people choose not to choose, and passively let other make the decision for them.
This book may be the one that leads you into finally take the action you desperately want and need, and change your life.

I almost put this book down on account of the first chapter or two. However, I'm glad that I pushed through because the middle portion of this book is quite good. I really appreciate the author breaking everything down not just in theory and also not exclusively into steps like a textbook but breaking down an idea behind something and then the steps to accomplish this thing and finally a summary with lots of steps and summaries in order to achieve whatever the chapter is talking about. All in all, I have read several books of this particular genre and I found this one informative and practical.

Tommy Baker has shared the wonderful lessons on 'how to look at the unknown with the excitement', 'embrace uncertainty', understand the role of fear and other life lessons.
Fear is so creative and will always make you feel like now is the wrong time to leap. Amazing lessons and worth reading the book!
