Description

Courage is not just for heroes. It's a virtue that everyone has, yet few exercise. This book will teach you how to discover the courage you never knew you had.Building upon his fifty-year career as a clinician and professor of sociology, the author shows that courage is the key to leading a successful life. He presents a five-step program that enables ordinary people to live up to their potential. First Dr. Fein helps you find the "safe places" that provide a refuge from worries and threats. Then he provides tactics for tolerating fears and objectively evaluating them to decide how they must be dealt with. Finally, he demonstrates ways to use fear to accomplish personal goals.In an increasingly complex, largely middle-class society where there are few guarantees, Dr. Fein convincingly argues that self-reliance is the best approach. Freedom provides many potential benefits, but they must be earned. As this book shows, this is not only possible but, with a little courage, well within the grasp of the average citizen.
