Gulp! : A break through in overcoming fear and facing any challenge
“GULP! : The seven-day crash course to master fear and break through any challenge” (Penguin, £7.99) by Gabriella Goddard is the first self-help book to focus specifically on challenges. It is the ultimate remedy for anyone in a panic about facing a tricky situation.
[UKPRwire, Tue May 02 2006] Tracey Temple is right in the middle of hers, Gary and Michelle Lineker have just embarked on theirs and Kylie is thankfully coming through hers. Every day, thousands of people around the UK confront a challenge that forces them to step outside their comfort zone and brave the unknown. They feel the fear in the pit of their stomach, yet deep down they know it’s time to face that scary “gulp” moment and meet the challenge head on.
Now there is help at hand. “GULP! : The seven-day crash course to master fear and break through any challenge” (Penguin, £7.99) by Gabriella Goddard is the first self-help book to focus specifically on challenges.
It is the ultimate remedy for anyone in a panic about facing a tricky situation. Perhaps they’re stuck in a rut and they want to change something in their life: buy their own home, get a new job, downsize to the country, move abroad, or find a partner. Or they've had a life-changing event - a serious illness, divorce or redundancy - thrust upon them and they’ve got no choice but to embrace it. GULP! provides a seven-day crash course on how to feel confident, motivated and energized so that they can take a big “gulp!”, break through their challenge and create the life they really want.
“Gulp! moments can be a real wake up call,” says Gabriella Goddard. “And often they can be a blessing in disguise. Over the past four years I’ve lost my six figure salary job, completely changed career tack, made the risky decision to set up my own business and survived a breast cancer scare. But all that led to realizing my childhood dream of being a published author. Every time something happens, it forces me to stop and reevaluate my life, look at what’s truly important and ask myself “if not now…when?””
