Joy from Fear

De: Carla Marie Manly

Narrado por: Jean Ann Douglass

If you find yourself running away from fear, you’re running in the wrong direction. Fear demands that we move toward it, face it, and hear its messages. When we fail to do this, the price is high - chronic anxiety, sleeplessness, damaged relationships, skyrocketing pharmaceutical use, and more.

In her enlightening book Joy from Fear, clinical psychologist Dr. Carla Marie Manly explains that fear is not the enemy we thought it was; fear, when faced with awareness, is the powerful ally and best friend we all need.

Dr. Manly's work is firmly based in science but goes far beyond presenting the dry facts. Joy from Fear offers many real-life examples, insights, easy-to-use tools, and life-changing exercises. Coining the term transformational fear, Dr. Manly illuminates the importance of embracing fear's messages for a transformed life filled with freedom and lasting happiness.

Amazing

Great book def read it do beautiful and informative with great narration and thoughtful language.

BOOK WAS SO AWESOME I HAD TO GET AUDIO TOO

The audio performance was fantastic!! And whether you read the book or listen to the audio ( I've done both) this information is life changing!! Below is my review after reading the book, and after listening to audio I would recommend to do both! As I say below you won't regret it 🙏 your life will never be the same as you'll be able to experience the Joy that has been there and you'll gain the faith to know it'll always be there..
I'm not a chronic reviewer at all but when a book like this can add so much value to a person's life I had to take the time and recommend this great work. We only get so much time here on this planet and every moment with fear is wasted but at the same time every moment lived in joy is cherished. We all need the tools to live our lives from a place of Joy and this book delivers! We all need less fear and more Joy and our loved ones whom are affected by our emotional states deserve our Joy not our fears. Get this book for yourself and the ones you love, I promise you won't regret it.
THANKS DR MANLY!

A life changing must read!

As a doctor I’m always looking for great resources for my patients struggling with finding joy in life. I not only found that this book would be amazing for patients I also found it very helpful in my own life. Every chapter comes with useful information, thought provoking questions and a section for you to take action and reflect upon what you have just learned. This book is unique in that you are challenged to reflect and create your next steps to work on every aspect of your mental emotional health. I highly recommend this book as it’s helped me quite a bit!

Life stories

I liked the examples of real life stories. Interesting and thought and thought provoking. I would recommend.

NOT what it claims to be

This book was more about living your best life. It had very little to do with addressing true fear and anxiety. it is briefly mentioned in the beginning chapters and then not again until the very end. in the end, she said that genuine life fears are a part of life and just need to be acknowledged. I could have saved a lot of time that I wasted on this book.

Many factual mistakes and troubling take on mental health

In Chapter 2 there were already so many factual error and inconsistencies that I had to stop listening. The author seems unwilling or unable to unpack what anxiety is and where GAD it comes from (not ‘the news’ and ‘the fast paced world’!)
