What Would You Do If You Had No Fear?: Living Your Dreams While Quakin' in Your Boots

By Diane Conway

Book Overview

Author Diane Conway has a gift: she disarms people with a combination of raw emotional honesty and outrageous, heartfelt humor. Using this gift, asking, "What would you do if you had no fear?" Conway approaches the police officer, the waitress, the politician, the lawyer, the cab driver. They tell her their secrets, their long-hidden dreams and fears. Chronicled in her book, these people's stories are inspiring, surprising, crazy, and sometimes breathtaking. We all dream of what we would do if....we quit soul-numbing jobs, applied to medical school, bought tickets to South America, found true love, quit drinking, or had an affair with a dangerous European. Conway's fresh voice and Studs Terkel-in-drag personna will open your heart and challenge you to live the life you were meant to live.

"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing." --Helen Keller

Loved It

Just what I needed to refocus and prioritize after 20 years in the same job. This was an instant sabbatical for me. Gave me the energy boost I needed to move forward.

a better way to challenge yourself!

This book is fantastic in pushing us all to our very limits, posing the best of the best "what if" questions, and ecouraging us to act on them! So much fun to read, dream, and answer with action-- what would you do if you had no fear???

Inspirational!

This book gives hope and inspiration to many who wish to change or break through a fear. I enjoyed every story and could in some way relate to them all. Ms. Conway has a refreshing and witty way of writing and look forward to her next book!! I recommend this as a gift to someone that needs a little boost.

Take the NO FEAR challenge!!

Love this book! You'll find amazing stories between the covers of this book: deliciously funny, inspiring, and challenging, all wrapped up by Diane's witty packaging. I've decided to follow Diane's advice, and take the "NO FEAR" challenge, and live the next new year with no fear. Buy it!
