These true tales not only invite the reader to "tap into—and hold onto—our inner strength when times get tough and when we're feeling all alone" but also act as guides to inspire anyone to just do it, whatever the "it" may be.
Authors Mary Beth Sammons and Nina Lesowitz have voyaged the front lines of adversity and fear to find the brave hearts who confronted and overcame obstacles in ways that inspire us all. From world-class athletes to business and humanitarian leaders, and from cancer patients to ordinary people who took extraordinary action to transform their lives, these courage warriors will show you how to turn apprehension into action.
Enriched with motivational quotes, expert advice, and power practices, this courage guidebook will show you how to live your life with guts and gusto.

Reviews
“The Courage Companion is a tool chest for the realization of our
truest dreams. Lesowitz and Sammons show by inspiring examples and
gritty wisdom that the runway to courage lies within us, in unsuspected
places, then guides us into take-off and shows us how to soar.”
“A welcome and positive take on what lies within us once tragedy strikes. The Courage Companion is the perfect antidote to feeling lost in times of chaos and challenge.”
“A handy, compact book whose size belies the big impact its many stories
hold within. These true stories of ordinary people who have acted with
extraordinary courage encourage you to act with the same kind of
strength.”
“The Courage Companion is a book I intend to keep by my bedside
when I need to be reminded of all the people in the world who have
exhibited extraordinary acts of bravery when faced with the every day
trial of life. It's impossible to feel alone when you read this book—you cannot help but be inspired.”
“At some point in our life, we all must summon up our courage in order to
face our fears—whether those fears are from such things as having to
give a speech, embarking on a new career, or facing a medical diagnosis.
Yet no one tells us how to develop courage, until now and this
wonderful book. In an easy-to-read format, it explains what courage is,
how to get it, and provides inspiring stories from those who have it.”
