Abstract
After decades of following the potent leadership capabilities of Marianne Williamson, and especially her last few years centralizing her activities within the active political leadership races in the U.S.A., the author concludes it is critical to evaluate all her spiritual and political prescriptions for a ‘better life’ and ‘better America’ a ‘healed life’ and ‘healed America’ via a critical assessment of her uses of the term “courageous” of which is directly related to her uses of the term fear and fear management. This introductory critique raises questions regarding contradictions in her claims and dubious prescriptions about courageousness and her vision of a 21st century politics and “New Enlightenment” for American society.
