Synopsis

Turn your fears from a weakness to a strength? Right now, you’re probably thinking to yourself, “Is that actually possible?” And the simple answer from me is, "Yes, it is!"

While the intention of this book is to help you to identify and address your fears, its primary purpose is to show you that it is possible to learn from your fears and thus become stronger in the process.

I can make that statement quite emphatically because I have personally overcome the fears that dominated my life for many, many years. And that is why I wrote this book, to show you how to deal with or minimize your fears... especially your two major fear-based enemies:

1. Indecision
2. Doubt

Fears are nothing more than state of mind. One's state of mind is subject to control and direction. Fear is a feeling, and feelings are tied to thinking which is tied to actions. And thoughts and actions can be used to change how you feel. And a calm mind is the result of a lack of fear.

This book can show you how to do that – after you’ve learned all about fear so that you know which fear or fears are holding you back.

About this title

About the Author:

George has lived and/or worked in all ten Canadian provinces and three territories, as well as having lived and/or worked in 28 of the 50 states. He had a problem with alcohol but for more than 26 years (since September 9, 1988) he has not used intoxicants of any kind. Achieving sobriety led to his interest in human behavior and, in particular, why we humans do what we do. His interest and work in the field of human behavior eventually lead him to working for an Employee Assistance Program as both a counselor and manager as well as leading and facilitating workshops and seminars. Prior to developing the DYNAMIC DISCOVERY process he was presenting and leading a two day seminar program titled "THE PERSONAL IMPROVEMENT SERIES" that consisted of 4 topics: Intimate Relationships; Guilt; Co-Dependency, and; The Right To Choose. The back and forth interactions with those seminar clients was enthusiastic and instructive, which led him into using a process of self-evaluation and eventually turned his seminars and workshops into participatory group sessions focused on unwanted and wanted behaviors and how to move from the former to the latter. The formal format for the Dynamic Discovery program came about in December, 1995, while he was sorting his notes from 4 years of those two day seminar sessions because he wanted to create a document that could be used by some of his clients who wanted to understand the "hows" and "whys" of the process that had unfolded during those group sessions... from real life situations and the very real people who shared their thoughts and stories with the Group and who allowed him to learn from them and keep some notes on what was happening during those early sessions. Career Path His first career choice was the Royal Canadian Air Force and he lucked into being part of a Para-Rescue unit. Being a Jumper appealed to his sense of adventure and pumped up his esteem because Jumpers were few and far between. However, he will admit to having feelings of superiority because the greatest danger to most Airmen and Airwomen was the possibility of a life-endangering paper cut. He spent the next 25 years as a builder and real estate developer as well as consulting on approximately 3 million square feet of commercial buildings; mostly hotels and casinos.
