Free Yourself From Fears with NLP (eBook)

Would you like to live with fear or without it? Joseph O'Connor's Free Yourself From Fears: Overcoming Anxiety and Living Without Worry shows you how to face fear head on. 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.

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.
