The Fear Book: Facing Fear Once and for All

It is important to understand that this book is based on Zen Buddhism and not really a beginners book. Zen can appear to make no sense or seem overly simple to someone never exposed to it - I suspect this is what caused some reviewers here to take back there books or claim it to be 'junk'. This is a wonderful guide, but for the Zen uninitiated not a good first step. Try 'Hard core Zen' (for younger crowd) or the book that got me started 'Nothing Special : Living Zen' and, 'Buddhism Plain and Simple'. Give it six months or so of 'Zen practice' (or meditation) and come back to this book and other Cheri Huber titles. Hope this helps.

Cheri Huber's books are like treasures to me. No matter how I feel, I can always pick on up and read starting at any page. Sometimes that is all I have to start finding my center when I am lost in chaos. Her books are simple. The longest one I think is about 230 pages (There Is Nothing Wrong With You) to some much shorter. Many times Cheri tells us that the practice is very simple, and we can throw away 99% of all books written about it. However, it isn't easy. Being still isn't easy. Facing yourself, or just watching yourself isn't easy. Think that is foolish? Try it. Pay attention.

This is a primer on facing fear. It offers extensive, concrete steps that work. Don't let the simplicity fool you - this is one powerful book. Huber's books are valuable tools for those wishing to wake up and lead more liberated, heartfelt lives. All of her books inspire continued study.

This book is great. I got it in a difficult time when I was having problems, which I didn't relate to fear. With the help of this book I managed to realy solve things beautifuly. The books is very inspiring and also very practical. I also realy enjoyed the style in which it is writen.

This is an amazing book. It helped me a great deal in understanding what my fears were about and how to deal with them. It is written in a very caring and supportive way. You will love reading this book.
