Wow! Having Fearless Living now in paperback is great. I have recommended this book to many people and I've had the opportunity to gift a number of these books to my friends and family while in hardback. When I first discovered Fearless Living, I was looking for resources to support my clients. As I began to read the book, I realized that is is a fabulous resource for all of us. It inspired me and it changed my life. It is reader friendly and filled with practical exercises that move the reader from fear to freedom. Rhonda Britten has put together a very proactive way of living a freer joy-filled life, that is do-able. So often, we read books that talk about living a better life, but they really never tell us "how to" in a practical way. Fearless Living is a "how to" book that works. I am a certified coach and licenced professional counselor and I highly recommend Fearless Living to all who breathe. It's a life changer.

What really captivated me in this book was the stories of both Britten and people she came across as a life coach. How Britten and others were distorted in thinking and action and how they rose above it was truly inspiring.

The advice was okay, not as solid as I'd hoped. Some lessons I was already WAY past or they just didn't apply to me at all, others were right on the mark.

HOWEVER, I also want to say I completely disagree with the review written by Publishers Weekly. They basically used their review of Britten to advertise a book they thought was better- mainly because it is geared towards men and not women. That is completely unfair and not very professional of the publication.

Finally, a book that not only helped me envision how much more fabulous my life could be if I stepped boldly into living in freedom rather than in fear...but one that gave me a practical step by step process and set of tools to make that happen.

The exercises and processes outlined in the book enable you to recognize your patterns, replace them with positive, empowering actions, and to live the life you truly are meant to live.

It's practical, do-able, and will get results. There's even contact information in the back if you want private coaching.

If you're ready to live your life with more confidence, more joy, more peace of mind, more happiness, more passion...this could be just the springboard that will take you there.

This is a book to read more than once!

I am compelled to write a review of Fearless Living because my experience of its content has absolutely rocked my world and changed my life! I have only found a very few books that have affected me in such a strong way. It's not just about releasing fear, it's about true freedom from old cycles. Moving up...moving on! The words are to be savored and the exercises experienced! I am just beginning to read the book all over again and have ordered 3 more copies for my family. Thanks for this one Amazon and tell Rhonda Britten Thank You!

Finally, a book that speaks the bare-naked truth in a manner that is not sugarcoated in the usual literary rhetoric.

This book exposes the bondage of fear that most of us live through on a daily basis, sometimes without conscious awareness of its existence. It is chock full of information and exercises that force you to really look at your limiting habits and deal with them. When you're through with this book you will learn how to identify and prevent even the very thoughts that give birth to fear, as well as the rising tide of fearful living you may have practiced in the past.

Rhonda Britten is a woman who walks her talk. Her methodology is exact, and her sources come from her own life experience, as well as her work as one of the premier life coaches in practice today. I personally felt a jolt of conviction and exhilaration as I read chapter after chapter into the wee hours of the morning. I then picked up the book again the next day and took two weeks to work through all the exercises. This was truly an amazing experience. The most riveting chapter for me? The Wheel of Fear...I never realized how I innocently allow fear to creep into my life, and how my own solutions to my problems were actually creating more problems! It's like I've spent years unconsciously treating the symptom and not the cure. This one chapter alone was worth the price of the book.

This is one not to be missed.

5 Stars +. Rhonda is a rare find indeed.

Someone once said, "Fear is the only thing that gets smaller as you approach it." Rhonda Britten's first book is a top-notch guide to not only approaching fear, but also to understanding our relationship to fear in a whole new way.(I don't think most of us will ever be "rid of fear," but we can learn how to tell it to sit down and shut up.)

As a psychotherapist, as an author, and mostly as a human being with fear, I always appreciate someone who is willing to be this honest with me. Fearless Living is the book for you especially if you like a clear frame of reference, and tangible direction toward accomplishing your goals.

Last but not least, this young woman knows of what she speaks. Listen to her.

In a crowded field of self-help books, this one stands out above all else. It is written from the soul from a woman who has experienced real pain. Yet, unlike some other testimonial type books, it is filled with concrete advice and a definite action plan. It touches the soul, heart, and head. After applying her teachings for a month or so, I felt a lightness to my life that I can't even explain. I've read other self-help books and they all seemed to be about the person I should be and not the person I am. Rhonda helps you accept who you really are-- when you have that acceptance, you feel a sense of adventure and courage and you move toward your goals and dreams. Six months after completing this book, I am living less in my head, imagining what I might achieve, and actually feeling the joy of accomplishment. My business has picked up a lot, I've lost 10 pounds in a healthy way, and my family life is great. Moreover, I'm able to enjoy my life and not feel guilty when I indulge. Ii feel centered and peaceful and it is showing on the outside, with my accomplishments and attitude, and on the inside, with my feelings of peace. Buy it! Rhonda, I hope you read these reviews. You've taken the pain from your own life and turned it into a gift. God bless you and give you all the wonderful things you deserve!

This book is only for the brave at heart. I say this because Rhonda is serious about the reader getting in the face of fear and calling its bluff. That is no easy task. Read with that awareness and the desire to hear her out. She's honest and you can sense her vulnerability. You will discover things about yourself that you never knew...all good. She helps you see how sneeky fear really is and how it controls your every waking moment, practically. And, she shows you how to master it! If you want to not only survive, but thrive, then this book is for you! If you are tired of being confused, doubtful, self-critical, self-destructive, timid about making decisions, and just generally being leary of taking any risks, then Rhonda is the best coach for you. I'm on my second reading, so read it a few times.
P.S. Have plenty of kleenex close at hand...you will cry, and if you don't, you're not really understanding the book.

My friend encouraged me to attend Rhonda Britten's presentation and to try her book. At first, I thought it as another self-help book crowding the book shelf. In the end, the book is so effective that I am grateful for it.

In the past few months of reading and pracitising the exercises as well as the suggestions and ideas, I am astounded and humbled at the momentous transformation within me. My friends and associates are awestruck at the immense changes and feel inspired to do likewise. I feel more love for myself and for others.

The book also shows me different ways of choosing and arranging the words and sentences that are neutral, empowering, supporting, and so forth. That makes so much difference in how I relate to the people and deal with the circumstances. The way I communicate have powerful effect on people.

Ms Britten does not write this book to profit. She does it from her personal experience and with geninue heart. Many thanks for helping me having a profound changes for the greater good!

This is a great book. I have a degree in psychology and have read many self-help books, but this one had information that was new to me. By following Rhonda's steps, I discovered what has been getting in my way all of my life. I would recommend it to anyone, especially if they want to change their life. Her other book ("Change Your Life in 30 Days") is great, too. I've watched Rhonda on TV, and this book is straightforward, but kindhearted, just like she is. Again, it has changed my life and helped me to quit making the same mistakes. I highly recommend it.
