I can handle it. - By: Bacon Sarnie, 03 Jan 2009 
"I can handle it." is the affirmation that the author suggests we repeat when feeling challenged. That's about it as far as her techniques go. The remainder is filled with encouraging stories, which are nice but not as inspirational as the Chicken Soup for the Soul series.
I wanted lots of methods to displace fear rather than pages of moral support. However, I do believe that the author is sincerein trying to help, despite the lack of practical exercises.
the most life transforming, mind-freeing book u can read! - By: A. Meer, 29 Dec 2008 
this book is awesome. It made me think differently about me, the way my mind works, the people I surround myself with & the wider world. Through the rational thought, logical analysis & practical exercises as well as wicked examples that I could totally relate to, Susan Jefferies changes my thought patterns & abilities for critical reflection/ analytical insight & gives me the confidence & ability to have trustin my judgement & beliefin myself as well change what I don't like & realize what I do.
BUY IT!!!!
Out of my way! Here I come!!! - By: Wimmelchen, 15 Dec 2008 I have never written a review, but I am feeling compelled to write one for this book. I have read lots of self-help books but not one has touched me & affected me like this one. It is writtenin a very kind & understanding way without ever being patronising. It has helped me find a sense of peace within myself - something I never thought possible. My outlook on life has changed completely & it couldn't have come at a better time (I'm just being made redundant, credit crunch, new house etc!). I am now able to see challenges as opportunities & I have grown morein the last 3 short weeks, than I havein the past 7 years (I'm starting my own business). For anyone who suffers from stress, anxieties & depression, this is a must read. But don't be fooled, you need to want to change to make it happen. This book will show how to.
Oh dear !! - By: Foxylock, 24 Nov 2008 
I'm going against the grain here but I feel strongly about this particular book. I genuinely think that Susan Jeffers is trivialising peoples fear here, there is the big question that springs to my mind immediately,How much fear has this woman actually felt ?
Does this woman know what its like to be paralysed by fear & anxiety ?.And if she does then does it not appear somewhat callous to say to someone "Feel the fear & do it anyway "?. Has anyone out there used the pain to power chart ? Does it work ? I don't think so.
I will not make apologies for my cynicism however if this book has a positive impact on your life then good for you. Frankly it left me feeling a little raw.
A genuine classic - you'll return to it again and again. - By: Book Worm DJ, 25 Sep 2008 This was the first 'pop psychology' book I ever bought, & it's a well-thumbed classic. Upbeat & practical, it's helpful for changing your mindset as well as your habits. A good mix of psychobabble & practical exercises. I found it especially helpful when leaving university, & having to make what felt like big choices about what to do next. The book helped me realise that all my choices could be positive & made me feel less afraid of missing out on something.
