Do It Scared

Finding the Courage to Face Your Fears, Overcome Adversity, and Create a Life You Love

By: Ruth Soukup

Narrated by: Ruth Soukup, Abby Rike

Includes an audiobook-exclusive interview of the author in conversation with motivational speaker and author Abby Rike!

What would you do if fear no longer stood in your way?

What would happen if you were no longer afraid to dive in headfirst and go after your dreams, instead of feeling like you were sitting on the sidelines of your own life?

What then?

We tell ourselves we are too busy to pursue our dreams. That there's no time, or that it's not practical. But what if the real reason we're putting off our goals is FEAR?

The fear that we're not good enough, not smart or talented or capable enough. It's the fear that others might laugh at us, or that we'll get hurt or be rejected, or that pursuing our true potential will simply be too hard.

And most of all, the fear that we'll fail.

But courage doesn't mean we are never afraid. True courage means taking action despite the fear. True courage means doing it scared.

The question is - how? How do we face those fears and take that first step in the right direction? How do we overcome those obstacles that stand in our way and sometimes feel insurmountable?

In Do It Scared, popular blogger and podcast host Ruth Soukup will help you to:

• Identify your own unique "Fear Archetype" - the specific type of fear that keeps you stuck - and learn how to conquer it.
• Dare to start thinking bigger about your life and your goals.
• Learn how to seek out honest feedback to accomplish big things.
• Embrace the core beliefs you need to overcome different types of fears.
• Discover why our magical idea of "balance" is totally overrated and let go of the guilt, once and for all.

Equal parts inspiration and tough love, Do It Scared combines easy-to-implement tips with the motivation to start making real changes that lead to big results. Get ready to get off the sidelines and jump into your own life as you dare to Do It Scared.

Thank you, Ruth

This was the greatest book. I needed it so much and out helped me get out of my own way.

Love it! You'll learn so much about yourself

I finished this books a while ago and didn't realize I never completed the review.

This book is an absolute gem. I didn't realize that a lot of what was holding me back was a fear. The assessment was spot on and I am taking all of her suggestions and guidance to move myself forward.

This is a wonderful book to help propel you to the next level. The step by step guidelines will give you the tools to make your plans for your future self.

Surprised by how much I related to it

The book's target audience is women. But the insights apply to men as well. Take your bias away and simply listen to the content and I believe it will give you amazing value.

Life changing for me & at the exact right time!

This is amazing! It's a real life changer!

The full fear assessment I took from doitscared.com gave me a complete overview of how my top fears hold me back. At first I was surprised at my fear archetype, then sad that it had held me back for so long. But with Ruth's book, within a couple days I felt totally empowered and that I will never allow myself to think I am less than again.

I am also part of Ruth's Doing It Scared Community, participating in her live sessions and able to be more confident and productive than ever before. This came at a perfect time for me with a very imperfect life change. Thanks to Ruth, this book and her community support, I am now "doing it scared" much better than I ever imagined I could ever do!

This was an awesome read! Ruth did exceptional on this book, it was very addicting for me because I learned about the different fear archetypes and principles of courage. I learned a lot about how I should look at my mistakes as lessons, and how to create an action plan that will help me be successful in life. I would recommend this book to anyone who has been a victim of fear for too long! Do it scared!!!! Thank you Ruth!

Great content

The fear stuff is amazing. Insightful and practical. The second half of the book has intermittent bits that read like an infomercial about her academy. That part was a turn off. Should have been a dedicated chapter to those interested instead of squeezing it into the pages. Only reason it lost a star.

So Good!

I loved this book so much and will be recommending it to my teammates! It is VERY worth the read!

Outstanding!!

This book is incredible if you find yourself stuck on start with what you want to accomplish. I’ve been stuck on start for almost a year in starting my own business. I am scared and Ruth navigates a way no matter what your fear type is. So inspirational to get me moving forward and I no longer feel stuck.

Excellent Book!

This book was terrific. It was filled with great practical, guidance. I found it to be very inspiring. I loved it and recommend it enthusiastically.
