5.0 out of 5 stars Undeniable Authenticity, December 10, 2009

This review is from: The Fearless Factor (Paperback)

The author of When the Crow Sings: A Novel delivers one of the most genuine guides to having a lifestyle free from the negative effects of fear. Intermingled with Jacqueline's personal stories and inspiration, questions spur the reader to encounter his or herself in the mirror of every day life.

What is most intriguing about The Fearless Factor is the emphasis on personal accountability. You are ultimately responsible for changing your attitude, and that is everything if change is to occur. But, make no mistake, Jacqueline's book nurtures the reader along, building confidence so that past failures become the building blocks of successes today.

The words of great inspirational writer, Marianne Williamson, express the all that is wonderful in The Fearless Factor: "Jacqueline Wales gets right down to the heart of our fears -- that we're getting older, that we're "on the other side of the hill," that perhaps we blew it and we'll never have a chance to get it right this lifetime -- and uses a magician's touch to turn such thoughts around. THE FEARLESS FACTOR shows us a blazing light at the end of all those worries. I found myself nurtured by every chapter I read, and it made me happy to think of how many women Jacqueline is helping, and will help in the days to come. It's a really good read."

I hope that many more men and women find their way to The Fearless Factor. In these fearful times, a sea change is waiting. We can hopefully shift toward the positives that exist in all our lives, and in so doing we may change the world profoundly.

This review is from: The Fearless Factor (Paperback)

Jacqueline Wales book The Fearless Factor is a good interesting read. It makes you want to dig down inside yourself and pull out the real you. It held my interest and made me think about "stuff" I need to do and how to change my thinking to be more direct with how I want/need to be, do and grow. It is a good read....maybe even a little cleansing. You definitely will not be disappointed.
