Free Yourself From Fears with NLP: Overcoming Anxiety and Living without Worry

by Joseph O'Connor

Overview

"I've had thousands of problems in my life, most of which never actually happened." Mark Twain. As never before, our lives are bombarded with daily events that stir fear - real or imagined - in both our individual and collective psyches. From financial worries to social anxiety, from public speaking to personal safety, "Free Yourself From Fears" show us how to 'unlearn' our unreal fears and find emotional freedom. Applying the power of psychology, O'Connor goes inside the mind and shows you how to deal not only with such common anxieties as fear of heights and flying but also fear of other people's opinions and even of our own success. This immensely practical, hands-on book will help you: know when to trust and when not to trust, develop your intuition to stay safe when there is real danger, defeat socially created fears in this age of anxiety, deal with change and worries about an uncertain future, and be in the here and now - true emotional freedom. One of the first books to address how to help children deal with fear and to deal with the all-pervasive and insidious feeling of "social anxiety," "Free Yourself From Fears" includes dozens of helpful exercises and practical techniques to help you achieve your best without anxiety and live without worry.

Editorial Reviews

With uncommon knowledge and authority, Free Yourself From Fears gives us a fresh view on 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 dealing with fear for years to come.—Michael Colgrass, Pulitzer Prize-winning composer and 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 & Changing Belief Systems with NLP
