In her book, "The Art of Action," Susan C. Young emphasizes the importance of managing fear to foster bravery and courage. She notes that when faced with fear, individuals often experience physical tension and a cascade of anxious thoughts. This reaction can hinder one's ability to act effectively and make decisions.

Young advocates for a simple yet powerful technique to combat these feelings—taking a deep breath and relaxing. By consciously stepping away from fear and anxiety, one can regain control and clear the mind, allowing for a more courageous response to challenges and the ability to move forward positively.
