Default reading the gift of fear

I had a hard time understanding the first three chapters. It was as if he was making no sense. I like the book so far cannot put it down!

Anyone should read this book!

Dear Sharla,

were you able to get what he was talking about in the first chapters - did it make more sense after you read on?

i am glad you are enjoying the book anyway. thanks for the feedback on it. i have not read it but it sounded interesting from the little bit Mari quoted in your other thread.

happy reading!

Default difference between anxiety and fear

Hi,

In the youtube links I posted earlier in the thread, the author talks about the difference between anxiety and fear.
Anxiety we should not act on; where as, with fear we do need to act.
