Here’s a brief 10-point summary of Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway by Susan Jeffers — a classic self-help book focused on overcoming fear and building confidence:
📘 Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway**** – Key Takeaways****
-
Fear will never go away completely
Fear is a natural part of growth. The goal isn't to eliminate it, but to act in spite of it.
-
The only way to get rid of the fear of doing something is to go out and do it
Action reduces fear — hesitation and avoidance make it worse.
-
The more you do something, the less fear it holds
Repetition builds familiarity and reduces anxiety.
-
Everyone feels fear, but not everyone lets it stop them
Confident people feel fear too — they just choose to move forward.
-
Push through the fear barrier into freedom and power
On the other side of fear is self-trust, strength, and a wider comfort zone.
-
Say “Yes” to life
Embrace new experiences, opportunities, and challenges, even when you’re scared.
-
You can handle whatever happens
The ultimate fear is “I can’t handle it.” Replace that with “I’ll deal with it if it happens.”
-
Positive thinking and affirmations help rewire fear-based thinking
Shift your inner voice from “What if I fail?” to “I can learn and grow.”
-
Taking responsibility is empowering
Blaming others keeps you stuck. Owning your reactions gives you control.
-
Comfort zones are prisons
Staying "safe" leads to stagnation. Growth and confidence come from taking risks.
