Second review: The book that keeps on giving. Was the right choice to dip back into this book a second time between loans to friends. I’m not a huge fan of some of the suggested actions around vocal affirmations but all the psychology of fear in this book is just incredible. Yes there are some outdated undertones of second wave feminism but that’s okay that’s when it was first written! Susan Jeffers’ work is essential self development reading. Feel the fear and do it anyway!
First review: Feel like you’re holding yourself back? This book transformed my time at university- read it in first year and I’m so grateful. I recommend to all my friends.

I don't really like self help books, but I think it motivated me a bit at least. It definitely isn't aimed at my age group though..

This book is a struggle. Repetitive, presumptuous, lacking citations, feels all about the author's personal experience rather than giving actual mechanisms, or studies that show the effects of positive thinking.
Also an unnecessary amount of useless EMPHASIS in random PLACES.

For me, this book was somewhat of a textbook on life. I took so many notes and underlined so many of her featured quotes and exercises! This book taught me a lot about changing my perspective and embracing the lessons on life that will inevitably contribute to my nurturing and growth.

This book has such transformative truths & tools in it. Often it was like a kick to the pants, but in the most loving way possible, because it was in a way that encouraged I could change what was wrong. I took pages of notes & am implementing what I learned, already seeing less anxiety & more confidence. Highly recommend.
Depending on your religious affiliation, sometimes there will be truths where the author does not mention God by name, but it's easy to find him in the concepts and see that they are still completely sound.
Minor note: the last two chapters are pretty out there and I definitely only skimmed them, because they were the author's personal theories instead of the powerful truths & tools that permeate the rest of the book.
