review 1: I love a good women's adventure book, and this was certainly that--from dog sledding to canyon rappelling, even to learning the trapeze--but it was also much more. Janice Holly Booth shares inspiring, motivating stories of her own and other people's journeys to and through their fears, then invites us to seek out our own ways of being brave. I really appreciate it when someone is willing to say, "Yeah, that actually terrified me, but I decided I didn't want to be afraid anymore"--then goes out and does something about it. And then returns and shares her map of the territory. This is a good read for anyone interested in leading a more adventurous life--and developing the personality to handle it.
review 2: This book was really quite compelling for me. It is writ... moreten by a woman in her 60s looking back at her life. She found herself along the way and dealt with her fears. This book is about understanding what frightens you and how to overcome it. Though out the book the author inserts stories from her life and other people's lives to show how they achieved goals and overcame obstacles. It talks about letting go of unimportant things in your life and focussing on the things that matter the most to you, no matter what they might be. The author includes several exercises in how to find solitude, silence, introspection and more, in your everyday life and how to help you find out who you are.This book is worth a read if you are feeling out of step in your life or are afraid of making a big change. It opens up your eyes to the fact that you can slow down and look at your life, you don't need to rush around and lose yourself in the process. It is worth a read. I found this book to be helpful in my life. less
