The Universe Has Your Back: Transform Fear to Faith

Gabrielle Bernstein, a motivational speaker and author, argues that fear is a main cause of unhappiness and that people can replace it with trust. She calls this trust "the universe," and she offers spiritual practices, such as meditation, journaling and affirmations, that she says will help people let go of control and attract peace. Each chapter covers a type of fear, such as fear of failure, of money problems or of relationships, and includes stories from her own life and exercises. The book belongs to the self-help and spirituality genre.

It suits readers who like a positive approach to anxiety and who are open to spiritual language. If you want daily practices and a friendly tone, you'll find plenty to try.

Practical, inward-looking and clear-cut; an easy read.
