Reviews for Walking with Fear

[Adel Hajjaj · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

[alexacalero1999 · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Personally, too short and just simple words trying to sound smart.

[Simon Siaw · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Difficult for a layman to comment on the discourse by sages.

[Maryna Yurchenko · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Great audiobook, loved it so much. My honor to the author

[tina Simon · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I appreciate how well the book explained fears and traumas from a neuropsychological perspective in a short amount of time. Some books seem to pressure the reader into immediately ditching the fear without the actual explanation on how to do so. I like how the author expressed that instead of walking away from it, walking peacefully with it was one of the methods the author mentioned. Short and easy, as well as applicable for training my mind to conquer my anxiety. I think I am Diana's fan now?
