…and me.
I’m Cara Stein, the creator of Beyond Fear. Overcoming fear has been a big theme in my life for the past few years. After all, what’s scarier than reinventing yourself?
My latest adventure has been starting my own business and quitting my job. I’ve always wanted to be a writer, but instead I took the “safe” path for many years. Among other relics of career change and self-reinvention, I have a PhD in computer science, assorted programming skills, several years’ teaching experience, and advanced skills in wasting a whole afternoon surfing the internet.
I discovered that changing your life is a lot easier than it looks, and I knew I had to spread the word. I’m the founder of 17,000 Days, a blog about remembering that life is short and making your best days a common occurrence. I’m a big believer in self-reinvention and sculpting your life into what you want it to be. I love guiding people to do the same.
I live in Huntsville, Alabama, with one stripy gray kitty cat. My favorite flavor of Ben & Jerry’s is Late Night Snack.
I’m also the author of two other guides: How to be Happy (No Fairy Dust or Moonbeams Required) and The Less Hassle, More Harmony Relationship Workshop.
