This was interesting. These books are not normally my genre but I read Brandon's other book and so I was intrigued. I not sure I actually think of "fear" that inhibits me but it certainly made me self-reflect and add some things I've always wanted to do back on the list. All in all it was a positive read. I recommend it.

Збірка напіввигаданих історій про подолання страху, які більше нагадують бахвальство за кухлем пива, ніж корисну книжку. Вебб дуже любить рахувати гроші, як свої, так і своїх "друзів", і читати від цього стає ще важче.

I have yet to read a book by a former Special Forces soldier that wasn't interesting and inspiring.

As another review says, it's a self-help book and it's never wise to read a self-help book for new information. So, that. It's easy to read, and had a few parts I found resonant, buuuuut....there were a lot that I didn't or that felt unsatisfactory. I think part of why is highlighted in the whole learn-to-swim story that it's built around -- that's a really easy fear to tackle and address and problem solve and avoid the difficult complexities around fear.

Keep in mind that the personal stories in here may be embellished or twisted (searching online for the author will show you that he's not well thought of by many of his SEAL peers), but the overall messages are pretty good. In particular, knowing that the fear is going to be there, and that you are committing to going through it via decision, practicing, letting go, jumping off and remembering what matters. Enjoyable read.
