Synopsis

Although you may not realize it, fear is getting in your way and stopping you from connecting with others, reaching your true potential, and finding happiness and joy. But it doesn't have to be this way. Susan Piver has the key to breaking down the barriers of fear that are holding you back. By using simple meditation techniques and other Buddhist principles, she will teach you how to:

• Open your heart to relationships
• Gain the confidence to pursue a meaningful career
• Achieve perspective to give your life meaning

With a contemporary approach to ancient practices, Susan teaches you how to incorporate principles of meditation and mindfulness into your everyday life. This isn't enlightenment on a mountaintop—it is a way of bringing intelligence and courage to the way you relate to yourself, your family, your friends, and your life. Becoming self-aware can lead to self-improvement, happiness, and joy.

Featuring the 7-Day Freedom from Fear Meditation Program

Probably better if you don't already have a meditation practice. A primer on Buddhist-centered meditation. Appreciated the premise: "...we were born without fear and have a natural ability to love."......more

Goodreads review by Kathleen on January 06, 2008

This is a meditation how-to book with a focus on working through fear issues. I got some good meditation techniques from this book, but overall...eh.
