Fear

Our Ultimate Challenge

By: Ranulph Fiennes

Narrated by: Ranulph Fiennes

Sir Ranulph Fiennes has climbed the Eiger and Mount Everest. He's crossed both Poles on foot. He's been a member of the SAS and fought a bloody guerrilla war in Oman. And yet he confesses that his fear of heights is so great that he'd rather send his wife up a ladder to clean the gutters than do it himself.

In Fear, the world's greatest explorer delves into his own experiences to try and explain what fear is, how it happens and how he's overcome it so successfully. He examines key moments from history where fear played an important part in the outcome of a great event. He shows us how the brain perceives fear, how that manifests itself in us, and how we can transform our perceptions.

With an enthralling combination of story-telling, research and personal accounts of his own struggles to overcome fear, Sir Ranulph Fiennes sheds new light on one of humanity's strongest emotions.©2016 Ranulph Fiennes

A comprehensive guide to fear

A well researched book that manages to be both, informative and motivational at the same time. Also, the fact that it’s written by someone who shares my fear of heights, really helped me relate. Wonderful book!

Disappointing

Author's narration skill are poor.
One or two nuggets but overall disappointing. from a individual for whom I have high regard for his achievements.

Incredible book that changed my life

I am a young man with similar health issues, pains and traumas as well as fears as Sir Ranulph. Because of that I have failed previously in many areas of life due to undue anxiety, fear and cramps. That contrasts with unique achievements in other areas of life. This book helped me smooth the ups and downs.

Excellent

I'm not yet finished with this but I am already giving it 5 stars.

A must read for everyone !

Personal journey that describe what human fear and suffering looks like in most forms. Epic journey through a life and history and a must read for everyone that want to have a peak into human tenacity.
