Joseph O'Connor (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 7, 2005

Would you like to live with fear or without it? The twentieth century was known as the Age of Anxiety, and the opening of the twenty-first century, with its pervasive sense of unease, has officially ushered us all into the Age of Fear. In Free Yourself From Fears, Joseph O'Connor looks at the three main types of fear: unreal fears, useful fears and cultural fears. It is our inability to get beyond these three basic types of fear that prevents us from leading richer, more fulfilling lives. Using his master NLP training, O'Connor looks at specific examples, including the fear of flying, fear of snakes and fear of other people's opinions, to illustrate dozens of practical exercises and techniques for overcoming fear and enriching your life. From financial worries to social anxiety, from public speaking to personal safety, Free Yourself From Fears show us how to unlearn our fears and find emotional freedom. This practical, hands-on book will help you to know when to trust and when not to trust, how to develop your intuition to stay safe when there is real danger, how to deal with worry and change in light of an uncertain future and, most importantly, to be in the here and now, living your life to the full. Free Yourself From Fears includes dozens of insightful methods for achieving your best, avoiding anxiety and living without worry.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Joseph O'Connor takes the fear out of our fears. He has a knack for making complex ideas understandable and for laying out practical strategies." Shelle Rose Charvet, author of Words That Change Minds "With uncommon knowledge and authority, Free Yourself From Fears gives us a fresh view on coping with our everyday anxieties. In plain language O'Connor combines the analytical with the intuitive and does it with heart. Therapists, managers and communicators in all fields will use his practical exercises for overcoming fears for years to come." Michael Colgrass, Pulizter Prize-winning composer & NLP Trainer "This book is an excellent example of Joseph O'Connor's elegant, enriched writing style and conveys pertinent, powerful learning for dealing with the fears of the volatile world in which we live today." Sue Knight, author of NLP at Work "It has been said that the two great emotions are love and fear, and that they form the foundation for all others. Fear tends to be the source of most of the difficult feelings we experience. Learning to deal with fear is thus one of the most important life skills a person can learn. In Free Yourself From Fears Joseph O'Connor provides a wealth of knowledge and tools to help people better understand their fears and transform them into positive actions. As with his previous books, Joseph demonstrates his great gift for presenting rich and complex knowledge in a form that is both practical and easy to understand. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to move more easily and confidently through life." Robert Dilts author of From Coach to Awakener and Changing Belief Systems With NLP "Joseph O'Connor has done a fine job articulating an area that is everyone's concern - fear. Joseph introduces us to fear as friend, as foe and as figment of our imagination. Using metaphors and a multitude of real life examples, he conducts a comprehensive exploration of fear's myriad masks and manifestations in our lives. With each fear - from flying to failure to the future (and so many more) - his mastery of the material reassuringly and resourcefully leads us ultimately to fear's true twin - freedom." Charles Faulkner co-author of NLP: The New Technology of Achievement
