The Little Book of Courage: A Three-Step Process to Overcoming Fear and Anxiety

by Sarah Quigley

We all need help in coping with fear. In this small but powerful book, authors Sarah Quigley and Marilyn Shroyer interviewed over 100 people ages five through eightyfive and distilled their wisdom about fear. The Little Book of Courage guides readers step by step through a threefold process of facing, feeling, and transforming fear and anxiety. Through personal stories, inspiring quotes, and practical suggestions, readers learn that fear is a simply a message, not a monster, and that it can be transformed into "courage, kindness, compassion, wisdom, love, patience, serenity, calm awareness, or acceptance."
