What's it about?

Brian Tracy argues that two fears you were never born with run your adult life: the fear of failure and the fear of rejection. Drawn from Part Three of his Phoenix Seminar, this summary traces both back to destructive criticism and conditional love in the first three years, when parents seem like gods and Freud's pleasure principle steers every lesson. Tracy maps where each fear lives in the body, then offers the antidote: self-esteem, rebuilt one "I love myself" at a time.

You'll learn:

- Why a clenched stomach signals fear of failure

- How conditional love trains you to please everyone

- The four rules of criticism that protect self-esteem
