Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Gene Landrum has written a motivational book about fear and paranoia and how it can either debilitate you or motivate you to push through it and become stronger. He demonstrates how fear can be the catalyst to success using examples of famous writers and entertainers who exhibit these insecurities, yet have risen above them to achieve eminence. Whenever I feel anxious or insecure about having to do something that is difficult, I come back to this book and Dr. Landrum's words about pushing through the fear to get the job done. It has helped me enormously.

Landrum's 13th book is a self-help work on the inhibiting inner fears that either motivate or debilitate. As a pundit once said, "Hesitate and you are lost." Why do most people hesitate? Fear! The fear of not being good enough or the fear that comes from thinking too much. We are afraid of those things we don't understand but the true visionaries jump right into those fears and they magically disappear. Fear was the fuel of the passions of Elvis. In the case of director Steven Speilberg, he had a deep-seated fear of the dark. The only time he wasn't afraid when in a theater where he escaped into the fantasy of make-believe. What did that have to with his accumulating $2 billion? Plenty! He told the media, "When I was in my 20's I would get sort of nauseous stage fright. My insecurities are the fuel for my stories."
