A copy of Embracing Fear: How to Turn What Scares Us into Our Greatest Gift (HarperSanFrancisco), signed by author Thom Rutledge.

Combining compelling stories from Thom's twenty-five-year practice, examples from his own struggles with addiction and depression, and practical exercises and tools, Embracing Fear does not pretend to teach the impossible and eliminate fear, but rather shows us that once we understand it we can live beyond its tyrannical control. Instead of repressing or ignoring the voices of panic and dread, we learn that it is only through facing, exploring, accepting, and responding to fear that we free ourselves from its paralyzing grip.

Thom Rutledge is the co-author with Jenni Schaefer of Life Without Ed: How One Woman Declared Independence from Her Eating Disorder & How You Can Too (McGraw-Hill).
