| Face Your Fear: Living With Courage in an Age of Caution | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Rabbi Shmuley Boteach argues that the roots of fear lie deep within the recesses of the soul and are magnified by a culture of purposelessness and meaninglessness. In the face of terrorism, individuals live with the constant dread that they dont matter. Boteach concludes that fear is crippling society with unprecedented force. He tackles this overwhelming emotion and answers the following questions: How does fear suck vitality from our lives? How can we be so powerful a society yet so succeptible to fear? How can we liberate ourselves from its clutches? Face Your Fear is a book that inspires us to transcendence by connecting to what is rock-solid and eternal.

It's a lifesaver. Mr. Shmuley Boteach has been given the gift of wisdom for him to impart these truthful observations about fear, for all of us. Fear is a basic emotional ingredient in our lives, and a useless one at that. He teaches us how to combat it. And combat it for good.
God led me to buy this book, just when I Needed it Most. It's honest and very readable. Mr. Shmuley, thank you! (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-08-29 08:51:41 EST)

I bought this book after seeing Rabbi Shmuley on his television show, which I believe airs on The Learning Channel (TLC). He artfully helps mend families who are near the breaking point. His wisdom and talent are beyond the beyonds if you ask me.
The ideas in the book are enlightening/thought provoking. He mentions the idea that our greatest fear is the fear of being insignificant, which is something I had never thought about and feel is likely true. I enjoy the way the author uses wonderfully profound and inspirational quotes at the beginning of each chapter. Major concepts within each chapter are highlighted in bold. My only objection to this book is the frequent mention of political ideas/concepts. I found myself laughing a few times that the Rabbi was indeed without fear to include so many references to world politics/civics, etc. that it might be a distraction for some readers. Due to this little "flaw," my ideal rating for the book would be a "4.5" However, do not let that detract you from buying this book. It seems to be written with a lot of wisdom, experience and love.
