The Process of Writing "Some Nerve" - podcast

Patty Chang Anker, author of “Some Nerve” and established TedX speaker, shares the process of writing her immersion memoir book. During the process of writing immersion memoir, she captured people facing fears and trying new things, without any way for her to know what the outcome would be. Due to this unpredictability, she too had to let go of her need to control the outcome. She says the key is opening yourself up to the possibility of what may happen. When we hide in comfort zones, we don't open ourselves up to change, which is essential to live a full and meaningful life. In the book, she also challenges readers to face fears in a real way.
