Synopsis

Author, syndicated columnist, occasional actress, and businesswoman Ariana Huffington examines the ways in which fear affects the lives of women, and the steps anyone can take to conquer fear.

Observing that her own teenage daughters were beginning to experience some of the same fears that had once burdened her

-- How attractive am I? Do people like me? Do I dare speak up? --

Arianna Huffington was compelled to look at the subject and impact of fear. In stories drawn from her own experiences and with contributions from Nora Ephron, Diane Keaton and many others, she points toward the moments of extraordinary strength, courage, and resilience that result from confronting and overcoming fear.

Her book shows us how to become bold from the inside out: from feeling comfortable in our own skin, to getting what we want in love and at work, to changing the world.

Oh Arianna...a lot is said with this book that has been said before, and in my opinion, with more depth and less tendency to the cheesy group therapy feel. If I had read this without having previously waded through more than a few self-help books, articles on "living well" in feminist magazines, and......more

3.5* Important information/ reminders for sure. Wouldn’t it be great if reading a book like this could actually help women BECOME fearless?! Excerpts: We have to weigh the psychic cost of not trying against the possibility of not succeeding and being embarrassed by our efforts. The farmer creates regr......more

Goodreads review by Elizabeth on November 02, 2013

A well-principled book about women mastering their fears. Lots of references but the one I liked best was from Louann Brizendine's The Female brain -- in midlife due to changes in hormone levels and brain chemistry, women start to care less about others' opinions and more about what matters to them.......more

Goodreads review by Amy on August 31, 2013

Don't get me wrong, I think Huffington's writing is concise and emotional, but she tried to give too many "how-to's" that I found kind of useless. My personal preference would have been for her to have more stories about her mother, and more testimonies from all kinds of women, not just famous ones.......more
