COURAGE Overcoming Fear and Igniting Self-Confidence

The author focuses on women whose painful life experiences are holding down their spirits and keeping them from living confidently and proactively. Debbie Ford is a life coach with a steady stream of gripping stories of client transformations and a compelling life journey of her own. Here she shows how confronting earlier traumas and losses helps people identify the fear they've internalized, replay their responses, and move forward with their lives. Deanna Hurst's perfectly phrased narration brings a docudrama intensity that will seem fitting to listeners in the throes of a crisis or chronic downward spiral. Others may hear her dead-serious interpretation as heavy-handed--missing the joy the author promises when people access their original selves and start living more courageously.
