Gain Power the Easy Way

(See more about me) Nov. 16, 2003"Fondle the Fear" is a refreshing, hilarious way to become powerful. An easy read, fun-filled book.

My Favorite Bathroom Reader

Don't go into another interview without reading this book first. In fact, I wouldn't suggest you ask for a raise, a divorce, or go bungie jumping without Sticky Icy Dickie Bob either. This is the funniest book I've ever read about dealing with risk and fear and I don't even remember seeing the "R" word. It's been awhile since I read a book published by a celebrated motivational speaker that had animated flip pages... no wait, this IS the FIRST I've ever seen. I've never had so much fun building courage and neither will you.

I read it twice.

Book ReviewThis well-crafted and hilarious book is effortless to read. The author, Richard Stockton, gives you a short, concise empowerment technique, and then follows with hilarious jokes and stories. Through hysterically funny, true stories and laugh-out loud jokes, you get a Three-Step Method to identify your own dreams and stay on track by reframing your fears. I loved his encounter with the meat cleaver-wielding landlord, and the skateboarder riding a tornado. While the author purposefully goes for getting you to laugh every time, I kept thinking, "I can use this." In a culture driven by fear, this book will make you feel good.

Using Humor to Motivate

Take one part motivational speaker, one part amazing insight into human nature, and add two parts comedian, and you have "Fondle the Fear." I laughed throughout the book -- so much of it is right-on in terms of how humans act and react to the everyday things. The author uses humor (and lots of it) to illustrate how to take our basic fears and put a positive spin on it. This book would make a great gift for practically anyone with a sense of humor. I highly recommend this book if you want to laugh and learn something about yourself at the same time. I'd like to see this guy in person -- I bet he's funny on stage.
