As the title suggests, this is a book which is perhaps out of sync with today's climate of safe spaces, avoidance of triggers etc. Jeffers is a pulls no punches kind of authorial voice - and in doing so attempts to put you back in control of your life.
She expertly dissects fear and leaves it naked, whimpering and bleeding on the autopsy table to reveal that what we are all afraid of... Not being able to handle a situation.
Her five key truths offer some sign posts in dealing with it:
- Everyone feels fear when doing something new.
- It'll never go away as long as you keep trying to grow.
- The only way to get rid of a fear of doing something - is to do it.
- The only way to feel better - is to do it.
- Pushing through a fear is better than the alternative - i.e. being helpless.
as she encourages readers not to chose victimhood, but to embrace yes in decision making and see the positives (learning) in even bad situations as well as focus on giving in the fullest meaning of the word. All in all, a mixture of useful refresher and radically thought provoking in places. If you are ready for some tough love, this is recommended.
