Publisher Description
Author, syndicated columnist, occasional actress, and businesswoman Ariana Huffington examines the ways in which fear affects the lives of women, and the steps anyone can take to conquer fear.
Observing that her own teenage daughters were beginning to experience some of the same fears that had once burdened her
-- How attractive am I? Do people like me? Do I dare speak up? --
Arianna Huffington was compelled to look at the subject and impact of fear. In stories drawn from her own experiences and with contributions from Nora Ephron, Diane Keaton and many others, she points toward the moments of extraordinary strength, courage, and resilience that result from confronting and overcoming fear.
Her book shows us how to become bold from the inside out: from feeling comfortable in our own skin, to getting what we want in love and at work, to changing the world.

"Arianna Huffington doesn't mince words and she has written a book about embracing life as a woman, in all aspects. A couple of chapters are a little tedious but overall the book is great. Clearly she walks the talk as the Huffington Post is her success. "

— Library Journal -
“Veteran TV commentator Huffington has an outstanding grasp of the many ways young women doubt themselves, fear conflict, and shrink from feeling more competent in their roles at home and in the community…Candid and humble…persuasive… Her security with these ideas creates a low-key message that is inviting rather than imposing.”
