Fearproof Your Life: How to Thrive in a World Addicted to Fear

By Joseph Bailey

Don't let fear rule your life. Throughout time, we have sought peace and safety by trying to out-guess the unknown. We have tried to prepare for the unexpected and the apparitions of our minds. In an age of 24-hour cable news, when we can stay glued to the latest terrorist attack or natural disaster, the next epidemic, and what the pundits tell us we should be afraid of, our efforts to control the unknown and keep ourselves safe have led to a collective as well as a personal sensation of fear. We have become addicted to fear. But we don't need to be adrenaline junkies. Fearproof Your Life guides us through a process of how discovering who we truly are immunizes us from our own fears, as well as those of others. Bailey takes us through a process of knowing, listening to, and honoring our own unique True Self, of being willing to listen to our truth and act from it, without seeking approval, of being willing to forgive ourselves and others and take responsibility for what we create.

Fearproof Your LifeHow to Thrive in a World Addicted to Fearby Joseph Bailey This exciting book helps us look at our fears and how to move past them, and it was done in such a logical, non-threatening and compassionate way that I found myself following along and nodding my head in agreement. The author really knew the right places to go to help me pinpoint my issues and then to see how the cycles played out in my life. My favorite part was when he broke down the different attitudes we have that produce the fear and the actual systematic debunking of each one. I also liked looking at the way he should us Oprah's fears and how she worked through them. There were some illustrations i found very helpful and I also liked the easy flow of the whole experience and I feel it will help a lot of people. I would recommend this nifty helper to anyone who feels overwhelmed by fear. Thanks, Joseph I enjoyed the experience. Love & Light, Riki Frahmann
