End the Struggle and Dance with Life: How to Build Yourself Up When the World Gets You Down [Paperback]

Susan Jeffers Ph.D. (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 15, 1997

We live in a difficult world. But life does not have to be a struggle. From the author of the best-selling classic Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway comes a book of inspirational advice that teaches us how to feel calmer, more in control, and excited about life-- despite what is happening around us. With profound insights and practical tools, Susan Jeffers shows us that we don't have to give into the fear, distress, anger, impatience, and hovering sense of danger that pull us down. Instead, we can embrace the joyous emotions of the Spirit that make us soar: trust, gratitude, harmony, abundance, love, and joy.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Jeffers, a popular workshop leader and author of the best-selling Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway (Harcourt, 1987), wants to show her readers, basically, how to "go with the flow." She argues that even in the face of adversity, people do?and the reader can?live a joyful life. No one would argue that inner peace is not a worthy goal, and, indeed, works on the subject have growing appeal. Yet this book is curiously uninspiring and at times even fails to hold the reader's interest. Its best points are its intention and the quotations that appear at the start of each chapter. Barbara DeAngelis said it better in Real Moments (LJ 9/1/94). Only those public libraries where Jeffers has a following need to purchase this one.?January Adams, Franklin Twp. P.L., Somerset, N.J.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite Author, March 10, 2003

This review is from: End the Struggle and Dance with Life: How to Build Yourself Up When the World Gets You Down (Paperback)

This is probably the most helpful book I have ever read. Susan Jeffers talks about living in a world the way it is today and not trying to change things or people. There is a magnificent chapter, TRUST THE FUTURE. This chapter should be read by anyone attempting any kind of life change, be it a new job, a new husband, a new city. She says that in the end, it's all perfect any way. I have already read this book twice and I find myself referring to it often when things do not go the way that I might have wanted. Read this book and you will regret mistakes less and less.

5.0 out of 5 stars Immensly uplifting and worthwhile!, October 25, 2000

This review is from: End the Struggle and Dance with Life: How to Build Yourself Up When the World Gets You Down (Paperback)

'End the Struggle and Dance with Life' was read by several of my relatives after I completed it, and I noticed a change within them also. It really is a very uplifting, positive and proactive book, which helps to guide readers to a more positive, happy and furfilling life.

I found it positively refreshing and wonderful, and feel myself change occuring as a result. The only thing I did wrong was borrow it from a library, hence I am unable to refrence back to it when life gets me down as it no doubt will.

The only problems I see within this book, as it fades away in the ending a little, and I didn't fully comprehend the idea of lower and higher selves, though this is through my only lack of understanding rather than the book itself.

Wonderful quotes, wondefully uplifting, a wonderful read in whole.

5.0 out of 5 stars It opens your mind and lets you know you're not alone, January 8, 1999

This review is from: End the Struggle and Dance with Life: How to Build Yourself Up When the World Gets You Down (Audio Cassette)

I'm not really one for reading self-help books, but I picked this one up because I realized I was becoming a fearfull person. This book shows you the reasoning behind things you do and don't do all because of your fears. I highly recommend this book for both those who know they have fear problems, and those who don't think so. I think all of you will be suprised by what you find.
