Steven Colbert "Nails" Fearless Arianna Huffington

Arianna Huffington has been out promoting her new book, On Becoming Fearless, and I mentioned awhile back that she offered all the attendees at BlogHer back in July a copy of the book. I got mine, and have been reading it. For those worried that her book gets political, I can tell you that so far, it's  written just like a bunch of female mentors sharing their advice on life, love, and dreams.

What I like is that it it's just Arianna talking about her experiences but includes stories on fearlessness from other famous women like Diane Keaton, Melina Kanakaredes of CSI:NY fame, Sherry Lansing, and Nora Ephron of Sleepless in Seattle fame who also has a book out on women and aging, "I Feel Bad About My Neck: And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman"

Many of us put our life on PAUSE because of fear, and reading books like this which have stories from famous people sharing their own fears is a good read. You realize that the only difference between that famous person and you is that they didn't let fear stop them from their dreams.

Via Gawker, here's a funny video clip of Arianna on The Colbert Report.
