5.0 out of 5 stars A great self-help book, February 11, 2005

This review is from: Conscious Courage®: Turning Everyday Challenges into Opportunities (Paperback)

This self-help book is the first of two books that Ms. Stearns is writing on Conscious Courage. The book is beautifully put together in a format that is easy to read and gets "right to the point" without any of the extras that leave you wondering "what she was trying to say." For anyone who has ever had to survive a personal crisis, this is a book that anyone would find extremely helpful in learning to make decisions on how to carry on with the rest of their life. Her insight into what people go through in a crisis that affects the rest of your life is truly uncanny.

I'm looking forward to Ms. Stearns next book, Conscious Courage, Vol. II, when it comes out. I'm sure it will be just as wonderful as this book, and I look forward to reading that book soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Conscious Resolve for Facing Life's Challenges, January 25, 2006

(VINE VOICE)    (TOP 500 REVIEWER)   

This review is from: Conscious Courage®: Turning Everyday Challenges into Opportunities (Paperback)

Stearns, faced with personal crisis, found the inner resolve to turn this conflict into opportunity. In this book she presents an approach for turning your personal challenges into stepping stones for finding fulfillment and a winning way of life.

Although the book is classified as self-help and psychology, the author has a way of offering sound professional advice and practical easy to follow guidance counseling into a feeling that is comparable to sharing a cup of coffee with a friend.

The easy to read format of the book encouraged me to stop and reflect on the, often simple, often profound, insights of the author. I found the book a source of personal inspiration and discovery.

A comprehensive index affords an easy way to find and reflect on a chosen topic. The author also provides a resource list for additional reading and listening. I highly recommend this book for anyone facing a challenge, looking for courage.
