What you will learn from listening to this book?

• You will learn that happiness can be achieved if you leave your worries behind and trust the Universe to take care of things. Not that you shouldn't try or work at it, but when you have done your best, leave the rest to be handled by the higher power.
• You will see there are many reasons humans react the way they do, and how negativity can pervade our daily lives if we're not careful. You can learn to recognize and avoid the stresses and worry which can ruin your day.
• You will learn you cannot do it alone, you must trust in the higher power to help.

With her own life lessons and struggles, as well as stories from clients and friends, Gabrielle Bernstein teaches the listener to trade fear for love. Through a general view of a personal higher being, she leads with love without stepping on religious ground. Connection to the higher power through love, the greater good, and the individual's pursuit of enlightenment are her goals with this book. Much time is spent on how humans process emotions and default to fear.

Bernstein believes everything in life is represented in either fear or love. Further, she stresses we have the choice to determine which road we will take. Several example situations exemplify this difficult path and how the individuals conquered their fears with acceptance and love. She offers links to her website with specific prayers and meditations for those who wish for such guidance, and encourages the reader to find their own path to peace. The main theme of the book is to endeavor to respond to everything in life with love instead of fear, and to surrender all the negativity, goals, and problems to the Universe.
