Mastering Fear

Description

From New York Times bestselling author and former Navy SEAL Brandon Webb. a four-step guide to making your fear work for you and not against you. Brandon Webb has jumped out of airplanes, served as a sniper under terrifying conditions, and piloted planes through dangerous turbulence. As a Navy SEAL, he learned how to manage his impulse to panic when facing frightening situations, and as a public speaker and entrepreneur, he learned how to apply those things in civilian life. When a friend admitted he was terrified of the water and couldn't swim, Brandon volunteered to help and learned that his techniques for mastering fear worked in that case, too. It's impossible to prevent fear, but it is possible to harness it when it does rear its ugly head. In Mastering Fear, Webb shows that people from all walks of life can stretch boundaries little by little through habit and practice and learn to use their fear as fuel to accomplish more than they ever thought they could. Breaking down the process of turning fear to your advantage, Webb and his bestselling co-author John David Mann have written a must-read for anyone in need of courage.

"A useful weapon for those fighting creative battles in the 'War of Art.'" -Steven Pressfield, author of The War of Art "The big wins and most incredible experiences come when we feel afraid but do it anyway. Read Mastering Fear, get out of your comfort zone, and dance with your fear, knowing it will lead you to new levels of performance!" -Siri Lindley, former triathlon world champion, coach, and author of Surfacing "My favorite part of this book is that Brandon doesn't teach you to conquer fear as if it will go away completely and forever. No, as a Navy Seal, he knows there's always an element of fear in the things we do. Instead, we master it, fully aware that it is coming and ready when it does. I wish someone gave me this book when I graduated from college." -Jon Acuff, author of Finish "When you've got a hockey puck flying at you at 105 miles per hour, you don't have time for theory. It's the same when life is flying at you. You need to know what to do with the gut-ripping terror that grabs at you-and you need to know it from a guy who's been there. Brandon is that dude: he's the real deal. Read, learn, and excel." -Brent Burns, all-star ice hockey defenseman for the San Jose Sharks "Brandon's book will help you conquer anything holding you back from being your best and most unafraid self. A life-changer!" -Betsy Morgan, former CEO, Huffington Post; former president, TheBlaze "Understanding fear is a crucial part of success, and I cannot imagine a more qualified person to tackle it. Brandon's inspirational style of writing leaps me into action chapter by chapter. Thank you for such a practical breakdown of this important human condition." -Sally Lyndley, editor, Love magazine "Not only will this book provide you with a brilliantly simple plan for conquering your deepest fears, but it will also leave you with a burning desire to do it. What previously seemed impossible will suddenly appear entirely tangible. " -Marina Khoroch, writer for Vogue.com
