The Feel the Fear Guide to Lasting Love Hardcover – August 26, 2005

For those of us that find ourselves in an endless of cycle of relationships; this book offers a fantastic insight into what we could doing wrong! Challenging our preconceptions of what love and relationships are all about whilst also giving guidance on what the indicators are of a healthy relationship and one that is unlikely to last.

Susan Jeffers is the most influential self-help writer I have ever read. Unfortunately, she passed away last year, but her words will last a life time. I have read all of her books and this one I gave to someone as a gift. It is a must read for anyone!

Spiritual and practical approach to couple relationships. Inspiring for public in general and couple psychotherapists. The book met my expectations.

This was an excellent book covering many aspects of the love relationships between two people. Highly recommend it for people married many years to couples just beginning their journey together.

I enjoy reading this book. I like it has lots of different examples / situations and lots of practical solutions or suggestions. I find it useful

Extremely useful. This book have helped me a great deal in relation to my own way of handling everything. I am closer to being the person I want to be.

I love Susan Jeffers' books! They have all been very helpful to me at different times in my life! I recommend them all!

This book has been very helpful to me in changing my attitude about my relationship. I wish I had read it sooner.

Reading this book gave me goose bumps and made my mouth drop open - Ive been having major relationship problems but couldnt work out why. "Feel the fear guide to lasting love" was like looking into my husband's brain!! At last I finally understood what he has been thinking all this time.Susan's relaxed writing style is clear, easy to read and full of amusing examples. Some things she says are a bit difficult to swallow, but I guess that is an indication that you need to change your behaviour. For example on the one hand she says to stop arguments with your partner you have to bite your tongue and instead of screaming back say that you will do what they want because you love them - but on the other hand she also says you mustnt be a doormat!! Hmmm. In essence its all about cutting ties to childish behavour and growing up. Well... what Ive been doing so far hasnt worked so its worth a try!Susan was definitely put on this earth to give us the tools to find peace throughout stressful times and the knowledge to discover our soul mate... who might just have been in front of us the whole time, we just didnt know it.I definitely recommend this book to anyone whether your relationship is stable, strained or non existent. At various points throughout the book you will find yourself thinking: "OMG this is me - why havent I been doing this long ago??!!". Im just sad that it was taken me so long to realise my mistakes... I just hope its not too late for me.Susan's first book entitled: "Feel the fear and do it anyway" is also amazing and worth getting. Keep both by your bedside and read often!!

There are such strong themes in her book that resonate with my own: we all fear taking risks; you can only be responsible for your own happiness; and most of us have either had unrealistic expectations of our partners or had unrealistic expectations placed on us by our partners. I enjoy a very successful relationship with my transgender partner and when I read Susan's book I realised why. I had made all the mistakes in my previous relationship and now tick all the right boxes with my current partner, against all the odds that others expect from our `Love Less Ordinary'. I woke up, realised I wasn't living my life for me, and took many of the risks Susan talks about in this book, and now live my life free to be me and share my whole self with my partner as a result. - Laura Newman, author of ` Love Less Ordinary: Sharing Life, Laughter and Handbags with My Transgender Partner ' Love Less Ordinary: Sharing Life, Laughter and Handbags with My Transgender Partner

On discovering Susan Jeffers recently, I really wished I had come across her years ago. Her writing is so inspiring, thought provoking and has really made me realise how to live a better life and where I have been going wrong all these years. I originally got this book as I was having problems with my relationship and unfortunately had I not had read this book earlier my relationship would not be over now. However Susan takes you through how to deal with the relationship if it does end, which I found very therapeutic. And I probably wouldn't have dealt with the break up as well if I hadn't read this book. I will definitely take with me what I have learned from this book into any new relationship and life events as I move forward . This book is a must for any person going through any difficulties whether in a relationship or not as it leads you to live a better life.

The writing was a bit small but other than that no prob

I really do understand the title of this book. Then why do I give It a 4 star mark? Because I do one or the other feel that perhaps the author simplifies Things to a level that they can't bear. But beyound that Susan Jeffers has many valuable points, and she is a master in handling language.
