Most people have something that gnaws at them at night, a mess or unrealized dream somewhere in their lives that causes them to feel stuck, out of control, overwhelmed, incomplete, and dissatisfied. They want to run away, back away, and ignore what they fear--whether it's a demanding boss, unsatisfying sex life, or distant love interest, but they can't. The fear finds them anyway. It's always there, and it's the source of all of their unhappiness. It's what lies behind every problem, and it's what stands between them and the lives they were meant to live. Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert wants readers to know one thing: you can face your fear and create your ultimate life-and you can do it quickly. You can find your dream job.

MY REVIEW
Be Fearless change your life in 28 days is an interesting book, but I was looking for much more to be included in this book. I thought it might have a Christian view in it. I also didn’t care for how long the authors took to get into the main part of the book. The whole first half was telling about their problems and the problems of others.
The parts I liked about the book were some of the things they said like “If you retreat, the fear grows stronger. If you face it, the fear grows weaker.” Which is very true. Most all of the points in this book are common sense and most people could figure them out themselves, but I suppose it would help the people that just don’t think that way. I also like where they say “Focus on what you have control over, not on what’s beyond it.”
Be Fearless has helped me in a few ways like getting me to think about how I feel about different situations. One part that is very important it says “One bad reference in the past gets transferred onto all new experiences, causing fear that can last for years.” That has happened to me. Where so many times nothing bad happens in situations and then you have one time that something bad happens and your mind keeps replaying that one area.
I think the author, which is a psychotherapist would be great to go to, but this book just doesn’t cut it for me. Maybe some people do better with reading about things, but I need the face to face meetings. I really wouldn’t recommend this book.
