هر وقت کتابی میخونم که نقطه ی عطفی میشه شگفت زده میشم. دنبال بهانه میگردم که هرطور شده به هر کی میشناسم معرفی اش کنم. نکته اینه که تعداد این کتاب های شگفتی آفرین هر روز بیشتر و بیشتر میشه و از جذابیتشون ذره ای کم نمیشه یا تکراری نمیشن انگار همشون شاهکاران یکی شاهکار ادبیات و دیگری شاهکار موسیقی ... وقتی میخوام بیام اینجا ازشون تعریف کنم میمونم چی بگم آیا همون حرفهای قبلی تکرار کنم که حتما این کتاب بخونین، میتونین با این کتاب تو زندگیتون شگفتی بیافرینین...یا با این کتاب و عمل به اون میتونین شادی رو توزندگی خودتون تضمین کنین...
همه ی اینها هی داره تکرار میشه. جان کلام، این کتاب خیلی دوست دارم و امیدوارم آدم های بیشتری این کتاب بخونن و ازش استفاده کنن.
I never really know how to rate non fiction books as you don’t know if they were helpful or not until a long time has passed.
I thought that it had a nice concept, but it seemed to either repeat itself or go on to a different topic completely. It was a very quick read, but a tad boring. I found it hard not to cringe at some of the sentences, they just felt so flippant and not really thought out.
Overall though it was an okay read, and think it has helped me question a few things and has hopefully helped my wellbeing to some degree.
This book truly changed my life. I read it whilst training to be a counsellor, and it impacted me greatly. Many years on I still hear this phrase when faced with a new and/or daunting situation. Truly one of the best books I ever read. I have become a fiercely independent woman, and I have to thank in part, this gem of a book.
I would like to thank Susan Jeffers for writing this book for me to see the things around me clearer and to motivate me to be fearless as I am someone who grew up with a constant fear implanted in me from childhood. Having not left the environment I have days where I just get sad that I couldn’t move on. But I have changed, I am changing and I am becoming a stronger person slowly but surely day by day. This book made me appreciate the work I am doing and helped me keep on track. I have to admit the last chapter is not my cup of tea and I was much more impressed at the earlier chapters but it still deserves 4 stars imo
I had such hopes for this book, because I came across it in a time where I felt quite uncertain about life decisions and wondered if it is fear holding me back and what should I do about it.
According to this book, it seems like all I need to do is... think positively! Another 'just smile more' NLP self-help book. I won't go into the details of some of the cases she is presenting in the book, as I would hate to give any spoilers and ruin the experience of being surprised for readers. Suffice to say: I didn't like it.
However, I took a couple of points from it, the main one being that you can't escape fear, as it is part of normal growth. This is the reason why I am giving it 2 stars instead of one, but I won't be recommending it to friends.
Savā ziņā grāmata ir kā mierinājums, ka bailes ir visiem. Neviens nav gatavs pārmaiņām vai kaut kam jaunam, neizjūtot bailes vai šaubas. Bet, ļaujoties tam, no kā mēs baidāmies, tā, pirmkārt, ir iespēja paplašināt savu komforta zonu (jo šaurāka tā ir, jo vairāk baiļu mums ir) un, otrkārt, tā ir iespēja pārvarēt bailes. Jā, bailes var pārvarēt tikai, izdarot to, no kā baidāmies. Plašāka atsauksme blogā: http://pl-inga.blogspot.com/2017/06/p...
One of the worst books i've landed on. It's ofendingingly a how-to book full of instructions on how to make your life better. If you value your mind and you like to make your own decisions, if you like to be well informed than be well directed, don't you waste your money on this!
Recommended by my therapist, this book gave me a push into a more intuitive life. Whilst I am still practicing this, this book encouraged me to be confident in my boundaries and abilities. This book will always be close to my heart.
Great book, it was an easy, quick read. I actually read it a few times. The author brings up some good points on how we see fear. How even as children we are told to "be careful" and we see an optimist as a Pollyana and their positive view as unrealistic even though most of our fears of negative things never actually happens. The author gives you a few strategies to try to keep out of the negative/fearful mindset and gives great examples of how she overcame her fears.
I have to admit that I read a summary of this book by Mark Joyner which I found to be very helpful.
There are a number of action steps at the end of each section that enable the reader to move the book beyond" shelf help" to practical action steps to move past fear.
With the number of books that I want to injest over the year, I am glad that this is a book that I chose to read as a summary rather than the full text. Given the stilted language described in other reviews, I am not sure I would have sat through a reading of the full text.
