Fear Less | Free Book
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, acclaimed teacher and 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
In The Press
"Trying to be fearless often becomes yet another thing to fail at, but
if you can just fear less, peace is well within reach.
This book is your best guide for achieving that. Dean Sluyter’s
kind, accessible tone talks with you, so you always
feel he is by your side as you make the journey."
—Mark Goulston, M.D., author of Get Out of Your Own Way and Just Listen
"Om meets Wheeeeeee! Sluyter careens
merrily from the Buddha to Willie Nelson, from prison stories
to The Wizard of Oz, but it all leads us—step by
practical, loving step—toward a life of peace. Who knew that learning
how not to be freaked out could be so much fun?"
—Michael Kane, author of Heal Your Broken Heart
"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. He also shows
how to incorporate the techniques into other programs of recovery—a
rare but crucially important component. You’ll want to revisit
Sluyter’s wisdom again and again."
—Katie MacBride, journalist, author of “Ask Katie” recovery advice
column
"In his friendly, easygoing style, Dean Sluyter
shows how to surf even the biggest waves of powerful emotions. A
delightful and necessary guide to staying sane in these 'interesting
times.'"
—Lyn Genelli, marriage and family therapist, author of Death at the Movies
"Dean Sluyter has written a beautiful book that shows us
how to navigate the free-floating anxiety of everyday fears. He shows
us, with insight and humor, how to access the deep silence that is
available to everyone. Fear Less is rich with
inspiration and practices that lead to a more unobstructed view of
reality. It is a book to be enjoyed over and over again."
—Edward Viljoen, author of Ordinary Goodness and
The Power of Meditation
"I especially like the lessons Dean draws from his experiences
teaching in prison. I’ve had the privilege of going behind bars with
him and have witnessed his transformative work there. If those men can
come out of fear and rage, anyone can."
—Lama Willa Miller, Ph.D., founder of Natural Dharma Fellowship,
author of Everyday Dharma
"Dean Sluyter wields his pithy wit and profound wisdom
like a laser light, pointing directly to the truth we need to embrace:
fear doesn’t have to own us any longer. Using various forms of
exquisitely simple meditation techniques, the author doesn’t just
point the way—he takes our hand and gently leads us. Dean equips us
with the tools necessary to slay the tyrant that holds us captive in
the dungeon of our own making. The dungeon is our mind and the tyrant
is fear. Read Fear Less—it will help you set
yourself free!"
—Dennis Merritt Jones, award-winning author of The Art of Uncertainty, Your ReDefining Moments, and The Art of Abundance
