Features: When we face adversity or catastrophic events, anxiety, fear, and shame, these three emotions, become unwelcome guests in our lives. The author of this book takes us through the experience of feeling "overwhelmed by fear, anxiety, or shame" and shows us: how a person can overcome the fear of rejection within a day; how to respond wisely when shamed by someone in power; how to maintain clarity in a tense, busy, and anxious work environment; how to cope when feeling full of flaws and problems and experiencing fear; and how to deal with being shamed and mocked for being overweight. No one enjoys anxiety, fear, and shame, but no one can avoid these unwelcome guests. When we learn to face these emotions in a new way, we can live bravely and fully in every "today." This is an inspiring work filled with humor and hope. Lerner always clearly recognizes the painful emotions in life and offers the best advice on how to face them, making readers braver, wiser, and happier.
