Women confront fear every day: fear of appearing foolish, fear of being assertive, fear of looking fat, fear of getting sick, fear of going broke. Enter Arianna Huffington with timely and powerful advice on how to be bold. Arianna is fearless, but not by nature; she's had to learn and practice all her life. And in On Becoming Fearless, she puts it all on the table, exploring fearlessness at work, fearlessness in parenting, fearlessness in love, fearlessness in aging, and much more.

Veteran TV commentator Huffington has an outstanding grasp of the many ways young women doubt themselves, fear conflict, and shrink from feeling more competent in their roles at home and in the community. Sounding candid and humble, she tells listeners that she once had her own insecurities to overcome. With her charming accent and more vocal connectivity than one senses in her TV appearances, she also reminds women of the real-world threats and emotional sinkholes many women face. As a person, she is persuasive as she encourages self-reflection and stability in the face of criticism--internal or external. Her security with these ideas creates a low-key message that is inviting rather than imposing. 2007 Audies Award Finalist (c) AudioFile 2007
