Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author Debbie Ford offers her most personal, powerful, and practical work to date - a proven process for overcoming insecurity and fear and unlocking the courage that resides within.

Every day we are confronted with hundreds of choices that either make us feel confident and strong or rob us of the things we desire the most. When we lack confidence, we feel unworthy of having what we want, of speaking the truth, of making decisions that improve our lives. When we feel weak, helpless, or powerless, we lack the strength to ward off the thoughts of defeat, negativity, and fear that fill our minds and prevent us from moving forward and living in harmony with our deepest desires.

For decades, Debbie Ford has been helping people break free from the emotional baggage that has held them hostage. In Courage, Debbie Ford provides a life-altering path to discovering confidence and authentic self-expression. By learning to accept all of who we are, including our histories, our flaws, our misgivings, our weaknesses, and our fears, we discover that what keeps us stuck and feeling weak is nothing more than an illusion of the past. By showing us how to be confident, stand in our strength, and feel great about ourselves, a new self emerges with the power to accomplish anything. Introducing seven guiding principles, Ford expertly leads listeners out of the common pitfalls of fear and insecurity and into the strength, power, and freedom of a courage that has been present all along.

This is for the ladies!

I cannot give this book an actual review, because this book was not written for me. With this "review" I want to warn other men considering this audiobook that the target audience for this book is women.

So if you are a man, like me, you can still attempt to read this. I tried to myself. And while I was able to relate to some of the things being read to me, the references to my inner (and non-existing) woman became very distracting.

Excellent and Powerful Book

Where does Courage rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I loved this book and how Debbie explains in detail her struggles and how one can create power and certainty. As a coach who coaches others, she is spot on.

I honor you Debbie and all the good you did.

I highly recommend this audio book.

Inspiring

so many stories throughout the book were ones that I could relate to my own life and I believe most women can. The exercises were very helpful as well. The narrator has a pleasant voice with a natural pace that made the audible book a pleasure to listen to.

Not for me

I really wanted to enjoy this, but I didn't. I wanted to finish, but I couldn't take anymore references to a higher power. The author doesn't label the higher power as God, but she makes no attempt to hide that this what she means. She repeatedly either alludes to or states outright that she believes that you cannot achieve courage without faith in a higher power. I disagree.
