Fear Less: How To Win At Life Without Losing Yourself by Dr Pippa Grange (£16.99, Vermillion)

Fear is probably the one thing holding you back. If you don’t feel fulfilled or truly successful, if you are quick to judge others or harsh on yourself, your life is run by fear.

There are two types of fear: the jolt-of-adrenaline type and the not-good-enough fear.

See, face and replace. You need to identify fear, face up to it, and then replace it with something that gives you more strength and hope.

Acknowledge the role of fear, shrink its effects and life will be transformed. Facing your fears is growing up.
