Lessons Learned While Becoming Brave

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Patty Chang Anker grew up eager to please and afraid to fail. But after 39 years, she decided it was time to stop being a chicken. She learned to dive into a swimming pool, ride a bike, do a handstand and surf. As she shared her experiences, she discovered that most people suffer from their own secret terrors. It became her mission to help others do what they thought they couldn't and to experience the joy and aliveness that is the true reward of becoming brave. Fear isn't the end point to life, but the point of entry.
