About This Book

Bestselling author Harriet Lerner is at her provocative best in this examination of fear as the key motivating force in our lives. Often unrecognized, fear and shame drive our choices and attitudes in ways that most of us never figure out. However, as Lerner explains, fear is an emotion to be recognized, explored, decoded and embraced.
