Being rejected is one of the most painful experiences most of us go through at some point in our lives. It makes us feel like a failure, judged, and not accepted by the people we care about. No wonder many of us share a fear of rejection and tend to avoid it by all means. However, it comes at a high cost. Avoiding rejection can limit you from reaching your goals in many areas of life. For example, you could have written a book, but you did not because you fear people will not buy your book. Or you could have landed a business deal, but it failed because you were too nervous thinking "What if they do not like me or my ideas?" Marisa Peer has helped thousands of clients release their fears and phobias. After her 30 years of experience working with clients worldwide, she shows how avoiding rejection is only making the fear stronger —and today she is here to help you with that.       Marisa Peer is the creator of multi-award-winning ‘Rapid Transformational Therapy® (RTT®)’ and the ‘I Am Enough’ movement founder. She also is an international bestselling author of 5 books, a motivational speaker, personal development expert, and leading celebrity therapist.
