In the fall of 2009, at the age of 55, author David A. Stone reached the conclusion that anxiety, worry and self-doubt were useless mental states. They felt awful, never improved the situation, depleted his health and were roadblocks to achievement. So he decided to remove them from his life. The list of things about which we worry is long and includes illness, financial ruin, loneliness and the opinions of others, as just a few of the biggies. We also worry about paying the phone bill next month, whether that mole on your arm is getting any bigger, why my friend hasn''t liked my Instagram post and what your mother will say if you go to Vegas with that guy for the weekend. But what if you could deal with those plus all the other challenges that come your way, without the worry and anxiety? In this collection of posts from his blog, David shares both his personal journey and the techniques he found that will help you to remove fear and anxiety from your life permanently?What would you do if you weren''t afraid? If you weren''t afraid to try, to fail, to be judged, to look foolish and yes, even to succeed?
