After losing her high-octane job as an entertainment blogger, Noelle Hancock was lost. About to turn twenty-nine, she'd spent her career writing about celebrities' lives and had forgotten how to live her own. Unemployed and full of self-doubt, she had no idea what she wanted out of life. She feared change—in fact, she feared almost everything. Once confident and ambitious, she had become crippled by anxiety, lacking the courage required even to attend a dinner party—until inspiration struck one day in the form of a quote on a chalkboard in a coffee shop: "Do one thing every day that scares you."

—Eleanor Roosevelt Painfully timid as a child, Eleanor Roosevelt dedicated herself to facing her fears, a commitment that shaped the rest of her life. With Eleanor as her guide, Noelle spends the months leading up to her thirtieth birthday pursuing a "Year of Fear." From shark diving to fighter pilot lessons, from tap dancing and stand-up comedy to confronting old boyfriends, her hilarious and harrowing adventures teach her about who she is, and what she can become—lessons she makes vital for all of us.

读后感

在极端天气的状况下（一起的专业攀岩运动员也放弃了登顶），成为团队里第一个登上乞力马扎罗山的人，接着在非洲度过了圣诞节之后，我在凌晨回到了北京的家中。 而这本书，就是我跑半个地球去爬山的最初原因。订机票决定去爬山的当，感觉自己是一时兴起。但细想一下，距离这个想...

中文名字很奇怪“不要和鲨鱼亲吻但要和勇敢睡觉”。读这本书是因为觉得作者和自己目前这种lost和uncertain的状态很接近。读了之后发现刚开始写的很浅薄，但是后面却越看越精彩，the fear of death写的最有真情实感，但是爬乞力马扎罗则更详尽。我已经找到三十岁前要完成的事情了。

cute and frank
