5.0 out of 5 stars Turning Cowardice into Courage, July 9, 2008

By	Richard R. Blake (Bridgman, Michigan) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

A perception, a word, an idea, can change fear to courage. Steve Chandler clearly points the way for the reader to make this transition, this transformation in his book "Fearless: Creating the Courage to Change the Things You Can."

The book's short chapters are filled with illustrations, keys, hints, and instructions that left me as a reader with many "aha" moments. I found myself reading a few pages, assimilating them, reading them again to digest the potent powerful keys to replace fear with courage, reacting to creating, and the fear of insecurity to excitement.

Chandler has a gift for telling and choosing stories that illustrate stepping out in courage to serve others. I found the book "unputdownable" as I read of a 93 year old newly widowed author writing his memoirs and a publisher who couldn't put the book down. I went right on to the next story of compassion and community which brought a missing daughter home to her father.

Steve points out that, "Being bold and focused is what creates energy." This means I must make a fearless decision to do exactly what I want to do. An important principle I am trying to incorporate in my life is a revamping of my appointment calendar to include exercise, meditation, and planning, actually scheduling a time for my own personal creativity. I am looking forward to discovering and cultivating the power of solitude.

I have read five of Steve's books previously but always find a fresh newness in his writing, indicting that he is experiencing the personal growth he speaks of in his books. This integrity is important to me as a reader. Steve has earned a high ranking spot on my list of favorite authors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Packed with Life-Changing Wisdom, July 10, 2008

By	trueintaiwan (Taipei, Taiwan) - See all my reviews

I just finished reading Fearless by Steve Chandler. The book is written in a highly accessible style, with chapters that are brief but packed with wisdom. I think it is Steve Chandler's best work to date, a book that helped me in some very personal ways.

If you'll open yourself up to the ideas the book presents, you'll find yourself seriously questioning why you don't do the things that you've always wanted to do, why you walk around judging everything to be "good" or "bad," and why you let fear govern so much of your thinking.

This book gave me a very big boost of intellectual and emotional energy. I read it over the course of a week and each day I found myself more energized, less judgmental of the people I live and work with, and more confident in my ability to move into the next phase of my career.

This is a quick read, but you should read it twice or three times so that you give the ideas a chance to change the way you think about the fears that hold you back in life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book to read and re-read, July 10, 2008

By	Robert Monteux "Maine HypnoCoach" (Portland, ME United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a coach I am dedicated to helping my clients find resources to move them forward. I am also always reading to fuel my own personal development. Two days ago I came across a book that I just can't put down and want everyone to know about.

"Fearless: Creating the Courage to Change the Things You Can," by Steve Chandler, addresses the one thing, truly the one thing, that is holding you or me back from success...FEAR! This book is remarkable, written in short chapters, and one that you will want to read over and over once you realize that it was written for you.

Buy this book, read it, and you will realize that you have the ability to change the way you think about anything in your life. And then, get up and take action!
