Download and read the Fearless Factor Excerpt

All of us have fears of varying ilks and degrees. Fear is not really the problem. Wales assures us, “Fear is a learned response. We are conditioned into it so we can be conditioned out of it.” The book is a path through the jungle of fear into a boulevard of empowered, self-directed change.

Wales, to be sure, does not tell her readers not to fear. On the contrary, she affirms fear as a part of everyday existence. I so appreciate that. The self-helpers mean well who tell us we need not fear, but their claim is bogus. Wales talks about learning to embrace her fear as a lover. Isn’t that wise?
