Summary of Michal Oshman's What Would You Do If You Weren't Afraid? - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had been suffering from anxiety for as long as I could remember. It permeated every aspect of my life and consumed every waking thought. I was constantly thinking about the worst-case scenario in any situation, and I was afraid that my children would get lost, forgotten, or kidnapped. #2 I was raised with a survival mindset, and as a result, I was always afraid of death.
I was afraid of messing up, being rejected, aging, not being taken seriously, and failing. #3 Anxiety and despair are not uncommon in our society. In fact, it has become common for people to take antidepressants or anti-anxiety drugs. Why is it that so many people feel empty and disconnected, while others feel happy. #4 I had looked to therapy and medication for the solution to my anxiety, but after many years, I realized that the therapy was not going anywhere.
I decided to give up on living a joyful life, but deep inside me, I knew there was something else.
