LESS FEAR, MORE LIFE — A PRACTICAL GUIDE
These days there’s so much fear in the air, you can almost taste it — along with all the varieties of anxiety, anger, and addiction that grow out of it. How can you navigate your way through the fear and confusion, and find your way to peace?
In Fear Less, award-winning author Dean Sluyter shows how to use simple meditative techniques and subtle tweaks of body, mind, and breath to open your life to deep, relaxed confidence. Drawing on ancient enlightenment teachings as well as contemporary research, he lays out practical, easy-to-follow steps for addressing such issues as:
- letting go of compulsive overthinking
- loosening the bonds of addiction (including smartphone addiction)
- overcoming the fear of death
- finding meditative stillness in the thick of activity

It is a book to be enjoyed over and over again.”

“As a recovering alcoholic and not-so-recovered depressed person, I’ve long been aware that mindfulness would be helpful to my life, but it’s just so intimidating. Not so with Sluyter, who pairs concrete suggestions with a no-pressure attitude that makes this book feel like it’s written by a really smart friend.”
