Sardello doesn’t teach us how to escape fear—he teaches us how to sit beside it, listen to it, and let it soften us into deeper perception. This book is less a manual and more a quiet bell—ringing us back to soul.

This is a creative and innovative perspective of freeing the soul. It views the soul as an entity that seeks freedom, but is often held captive by fear. It describes many several dimensions and level that fear inhabits in our daily lives. I highly recommend this book, if you have a mind that is not currently not completely held captive by fear, then this book will allow you to find a better and healthier state of living.

Being someone who has held on to a lot, reading freeing the soul from fear has been comforting. I am one who has for long time clinged onto many comforts. I am currently breaking through my addictions into a new consciousness which has been hard as I feel an overwhelming sense of powerless as I try to face the world. However, I feel a sense of hope gathering inside me as I re-read this book. still small but yet I no longer powerless. this book helps you to understand the types of fears, but also while giving ways to build an intimate relationship with them. This is a book literally teaching one how to break through from fears. For anyone looking for something to help them in their journey of overcoming their fears, this book can be your companion.

The first time I read this book I did feel very overwhelmed. Thinking about my fears, anxieties and how powerless I feel around them was a very scary thing. I did end up finishing most of the book I don't recall if I did read all of it. But, in saying that I had a conversation with my therapist about how unsafe this book made me feel. There are many fears out there it is important that as a collective we reconcile on them and improve on them. The world for me is a world of fear it is a horrible place. I would like to see if anyone relates to me on my perspective on the world and if anyone could share with me their own perspective on the world I would love to read their comment. For now however, I will leave it here. Once I have had some time to build a relationship with my fears say a few years from now I will come back to my message and see how I've changed. Thankyou for listening any prayers or good luck messages are appreciated.

Thankyou & God bless you and your Family

Probably one of the most helpful books I’ve ever read in my life.

[Bob Paterson-watt · Rating 2 out of 5]

A real mix, this book. Some very practical tools for contemplation/meditation, mixed in with a smattering of intellectual/academic passages that seemed out of place. I may need to read this again, perhaps over a shorter time, with commitment to doing all the exercises to fully appreciate the value and impact this book seems to offer.

Boo! I loved his other book so much, I had high hopes for this one. I got through about 100 pages before giving up. It simply didn't have the intensity or spark or inspiration of his other book. Seriously bland and disappointing.

Sardello is fascinating. His ideas are new to me, yet at the same time, I instantly recognized the wisdom of his writing. I'm re-reading the book and using his meditation techniques, which are very different from what I'm used to. Definitely a book I'll be referring to again and again.
