Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway door Susan Jeffers
The first part of the book is great: understanding how to manage fear and learning that this can become anticipation after plenty of practice.

While this book doesn't offer any miracle cures - none of the self help tomes that are so popular today do - it gave me a lot to think about.

This book contained lots of good practical advice, such as the power of eliminating negativity and pessimism from your vocabulary, taking responsibility for your reactions, how to have a balanced life, and many other great pearls of wisdom. Thoroughly recommended.
