Living Consciously
¿Conscious Courage: Turning Everyday Challenges Into Opportunities¿ is an inspiring, self-help book, challenging its reader toward personal growth through the realization that the struggles and feelings of discomfort lead to accomplishment and empowerment when handled in the proper manner. Part of Ms. Stearns¿ own definition of courage is: ¿¿Courage is knowing that all our courageous acts will end up blossoming into something much more significant.¿ In easy-to-understand, down-to-earth wording, Maureen Stearns gives brief advice on ways to grow outside of one¿s current comfort-zone. Almost every other page of ¿Conscious Courage¿ contains appropriate quotes of notable thinkers such as: Shakespeare, William James, Benjamin Franklin, Alex Haley and many more. With a simple, accessible format, I found this practical book to contain good sense and advice.

An Outstanding Self-Help Book
This self-help book is the first of two books that Ms. Stearns is writing on Conscious Courage. The book is beautifully put together in a format that is easy to read and gets 'right to the point' without any of the extras that leave you wondering 'what she was trying to say.' For anyone who has ever had to survive a personal crisis, this is a book that anyone would find extremely helpful in learning to make decisions on how to carry on with the rest of their life. Her insight into what people go through in a crisis that affects the rest of your life is truly uncanny. I'm looking forward to Ms. Stearns next book, Conscious Courage, Vol. II, when it comes out. I'm sure it will be just as wonderful as this book, and I look forward to reading that book soon.

Ervin Harmon's Book review on Concious Courage
Conscious Courage is a great book and one that people should read. The author writes about so many things that will help people cope in areas that they do not excel in. If anyone has any weak areas that need fine tuning this book will do it. Maureen Stearns is one fine author and I am glad I have her book.
