Margie Warrell, featured on “The Today Show” on February 24, 09 - http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/26184891/vp/29367436#29367436, is a courage expert for many reasons that led to writing her best-seller, Find Your Courage: 12 Acts for Becoming Fearless in Work and in Life (McGraw-Hill, Jan 09). Facing fear on her own since she was 18, Margie left her home country of Australia, survived bulimia, had a gun to her head in a robbery resulting in one of her five miscarriages, backpacked solo in dangerous corners of the world and swam with piranhas. And that’s just the beginning for this mother of four.
Now, more than ever before, Americans are confronted daily with reasons to be afraid. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, approximately 6 million Americans ages 18-54 have some type of specific fear and 2.4 million suffer from panic disorders. Add to this the millions who worry incessantly about what catastrophe could befall them or their families and it becomes obvious that in this globalized age of information overload things are not going to improve by themselves.
