Life coach, professional speaker, and published writer Margie Warrell gets to the very core of what it takes to develop nerves of steel in her new book, “Find Your Courage: 12 Acts for Becoming Fearless at Work and in Life.”  Within its pages, she offers a combination of hope, motivation, and a sassy sense of humor that defines her unique style and shapes her proven methods.  It’s a professional book with a deeply personal soul.

“Find Your Courage” is broken down into three major parts, which are further broken down into essential life-altering chapters taking the reader through Warrell’s entire process.  She begins by laying a foundation – identifying common stumbling blocks associated with fear and lack of courage – crucial for the building up of individual integrity, values, and life parameters.  Her obvious Aussie spunk brings a crisply fresh energy to the subject, further inspiring and motivating the reader to push themselves on to bigger and better goals.  Well-organized and full of intelligent advice, Warrell keeps her readers securely hooked from the beginning to the very last page.

“Find Your Courage: 12 Acts for Becoming Fearless at Work and in Life” will appeal to various readers across both genders as well as those looking for a less ‘new age’ type self-help title.  The book aspires to a Cheryl Richardson-esque enlightening and self-discovering experience, which will interest typical readers of this genre.  However, the omission of Richardson’s characteristic over-the-top, touchy-feely style further opens the door to a potentially larger audience.  Fantastic for both private and business sector!  Further, its material transcends age brackets and is applicable to all generations – young adults will learn to set their ‘rules to live by’ early in their lives while even the oldest of adults can realize dreams they never thought could come to fruition.  “Find Your Courage” is definitely the newest ‘must read’ in the self-help section of the bookstore.

Straightforward, candid, and honestly eye-opening, “Find Your Courage: 12 Acts for Becoming Fearless at Work and in Life” will be the first ‘page turner’ you’ll find in the self-help section.  Author Margie Warrell is not only an expert in her field and chock full of invaluable information, she’s an absolute kick to read!  I laughed, I cried, it moved me.
