Arianna Huffington uses stories from her own life, from contemporary women she admires, and from women in history and literature to show how to be bold, how to make yourself bulletproof, and how to act without dreading the reactions of others. As a mother, politician, and businesswoman, Huffington discusses how to be strong, be your best self, and stop looking over your shoulder for approval. In chapters such as Fearlessness at Work, Fearlessness in Relationships, Fearlessness in Parenting, and Fearlessness in Aging, she delivers instructive and much-needed lessons about how to flourish as a fearless woman in today's world.

Summary: Go Fearless!
Comment: I can't tell you how touched I am by this book. Here is Ms. Huffington, a woman known for her political influence and intellectual pursuits, who chose to write a book about her intimate relationship with fear. What an amazing gift that a person accomplished in so many ways paused to share her story of living with, yet breaking through, fear.
Prior to reading this book, I held a belief that great people did not have to work with the same type of inner chatter - "the world's worst roommate," as Ms. Huffington so aptly puts it. Ms. Huffington has given me such a gift; to see that it is not some better, less fearful mind that makes her success a possibility, but rather her feisty excitement at moving through and past her fears!
If you are considering this book, I highly recommend it! If you like this style of writing, in which wisdom is collected and woven together through a series of stories and anecdotes, I also recommend that you check out Ariel and Shya Kane's most recent book, Being Here: Modern Day Tales of Enlightenment. Like Ms. Huffington, the Kanes are skilled at using their wisdom and life experience to guide their readers past the limiting fears and ideas that naturally impede well being, so that life can be lived at its best: as a daring adventure!!!

Summary: What an inspiration Arianna Huffington isI
Comment: I am part of the national networking group for Women called Ladies Who Launch and I was lucky to see Arianna Huffington at their LA live event. AH was such an inspiration flying in on the early flight just to speak and then turn back around and get back on a plane that afternoon to go back to NY. She is such a delightful speaker, I had to buy books for my mom and my two sisters. My youngest sister is a mom and hates to read, I knew just giving her this book with a fabulous title was just enough and if she ever comes on a moment where she is not feeling fearless, I am sure she will consult AH's book. I am not even a mother as the oldest sister, and I even read the chapter on raising children to identify with the book. I share the same feelings that AH does. As women we should be focusing on our good fortune to be cancer free, instead of constantly focusing on our appearances and how much we weigh. Thank you Arianna for telling it like it should be and writing a very light book that leaves the reader with deep insight into themselves.

Summary: On Becoming Fearless is Hypocritical
Comment: I really started to identify with this subject and took time in between to reflect on my life and those of my sons as compared to my daughters.
But when I got to the chapter about Faith and God I was extremely upset. How could someone as open minded as Huffington be so judmental and discrimintory against athiests? I was shocked, her point being that an athiests life will never mean anything without belief in a higher being. The quotations are so upsetting and damning to athiests that she sounds so much like the evangalicals she detests than they do!! She is practicing the discrimnation she so passionatly fights against. I believe she is the one is who full of fear, the fear that maybe there is a possibility that God does not exist. This chapter completely negates the book and its message. I am so sorry she chose to write this book without really being fearless herself.
