Psychology (in general), and the Navy SEALs (specifically) are all of interest to me as well. I am generally a fan of books on the quest for mastery.

'The brave man is not the one who has no fear, he is the one who triumphs over his fear.' In Mastering Fear, Webb and his bestselling coauthor John David Mann break this transformation down into five practical steps, creating a must-read manual for anyone looking for greater courage and mastery in their lives. In the process, rather than being your adversary, your fear becomes a secret weapon that allows you to triumph in even the most adverse situations. The key, says Webb, is not to fight fear or try to beat it back, but to embrace and harness it. 'Or it can be a slingshot, catapulting you on to greatness.' 'Fear can be a set of manacles, holding you prisoner,' writes Webb. As media CEO and national television commentator, he has learned how to apply those same skills in civilian life.ĭrawing on his experiences in combat and business, along with colorful anecdotes from his vast network of super-achiever friends from astronauts to billionaires, Webb shows how people from all walks of life can stretch and transcend their boundaries and learn to use their fears as fuel to achieve more than they ever thought possible. As a Navy SEAL, he learned how to manage the natural impulse to panic in the face of terrifying situations. From New York Times bestselling author and former Navy SEAL Brandon Webb comes a simple yet powerful five-step guide to transforming your life by making your fears work for you instead of against you.īrandon Webb has run life-threatening missions in the world's worst trouble spots, whether that meant jumping out of airplanes, taking down hostile ships on the open sea, or rolling prisoners in the dead of night in the mountains of Afghanistan.
