BOOK REVIEW: On Becoming Fearless by Arianna Huffington

Arianna Huffington is the creator of the hugely successful online news and opinion blog, Huffington Post. She claims to have been inspired to write this book by her two daughters, to encourage them to lead fearless lives.

Each chapter focusses on being fearless in a different area of your life, such as parenting, love, money, work, health, even changing the world.

Huffington has a very friendly and accessible writing style and illuminates the text with many stories from her own fearless life. Further insight is given between the chapters by a number of famous women including Nora Ephron and Diane Keaton.

Apart from Huffington's own experience, there isn't much here that you probably haven't already read in various women's magazines, but it's inspiring to read it all in the one place and as written by a woman who has experienced everything she is writing about. I surprised myself by finding the chapter about her political career the most interesting - despite knowing how women are treated in politics, it's still shocking and disturbing to read it first hand.

Interesting and inspiring.
