The book is praised for its initial chapters which offer valuable insights on overcoming fear and making decisions, but criticized for its later sections which deviate from the main theme and include esoteric content.

The book starts strong with impactful advice on facing fears and making decisions, which many reviewers found transformative. The initial chapters are highly regarded for their practical and profound insights. However, as the book progresses, it shifts towards more abstract and esoteric topics, such as positive affirmations and aligning with a 'Higher Self,' which some reviewers found less relevant and more like filler. The later chapters are criticized for straying too far from the book's central theme of overcoming fear, making it feel disjointed and less impactful overall.


Quick quotes

    The first few chapters of this book have probably altered my world view permanently.

    At the heart of every fear we have is one single fear: "I can't handle it.

    This is the point at which, in my mind, the book became a one star book.
