Story
There are times when life feels like it has you cornered: financial difficulties, relationship issues, work problems, all of the above. Every one of us, at one time or another, will have to face up to the challenges that come our way. And there are two ways of meeting them: negatively, where blame is the answer, where other people are at fault, where you haven’t been treated fairly. Or positively, where you own the situation, learn and grow from it and become a better person at the end of it.

In his early 20s, Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent, rose to the heights of fame and power in the cutthroat music business. A decade ago, the multi-platinum selling rap artist decided to pivot. His ability to adapt to change was demonstrated when he became the executive producer and star of Power, a high-octane, gripping crime drama centered around a drug kingpin's family. The series quickly became "appointment" television, leading to Jackson inking a four-year, $150 million contract with the Starz network - the most lucrative deal in premium cable history.

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Publisher's Summary
The brilliant, inspirational next book by the author of the incredible number one best seller First Man In.
Without fear, there's no challenge. Without challenge, there's no growth. Without growth, there's no life.
Ant Middleton is no stranger to fear: as a point man in the Special Forces, he confronted fear on a daily basis, never knowing what lay behind the next corner or the next closed door. In prison, he was thrust into the unknown, cut off from friends and family, isolated with thoughts of failure and dread for his future. And at the top of Everest, in desperate, life-threatening conditions, he was forced to face up to his greatest fear, of leaving his children and wife without a father and husband.
But fear is not his enemy. It is the energy that propels him. Thanks to the revolutionary concept of the 'Fear Bubble', Ant has learned to harness the power of fear and understands the positive force that it can become. Fear gives Ant his edge, allowing him to seek out life's challenges, whether that is at home, pushing himself every day to be the best father he can be, or stuck in the death zone on top of the world in a 90mph blizzard.
In his groundbreaking new book, Ant Middleton thrillingly retells the story of his death-defying climb of Everest and reveals the concept of the 'Fear Bubble', showing how it can be used in our lives to help us break through our limits. Powerful, unflinching and an inspirational call to action, The Fear Bubble is essential listening for anyone who wants to push themselves further, harness their fears and conquer their own personal Everests.

Great book
The timing of this book, with what’s going on in society today is Erie. Too many people play the victim card. The only path to success is the one where you take responsibility for your life and stop blaming everyone else for your failure. Great book Ant.

great book learning to control fear
First chapter was a little iffy for me. the story seemed to bounce around a lot while trying to find out who the author was, and what was going on. After that it got good though. I'd say once I hit chapter four I was all in. probably because the baseline of the story is a former SAS special forces member talking about climbing Everest. Two of my favorite things: military and mountaineering. Great nuggets for learning about fear and controlling them to be your best, and to be an all around good person. A lesson I think every single person needs to read and learn.

Amazing book
After seing Ant's quest to Everest on 2018, I decided that I should also do it. A year later I went to Nepal and finished the Everest base camp trek 3 passes without a porter. this was phase 1 for me, before attempting smaller mountains like Lobuche East and Island Leak and then eventually Everest.
When flying to/from Lukla it was my first time on a small airplane. When I came back home it made me want to become a pilot. I'm now in the middle of the flight program.
Ant is an amazing person and a true source of inspiration.

A solid and insightful guide to self reliance and
I loved this book. The conversational style really appeals to me. The advice is meaningful and sound. I will carry many of the stories and guidelines with me into the future. My favorite line was, "People want you to be the most basic version of yourself." I've experienced first hand the cruelty of friends and family members when I've dared to be more than my basic self that they can understand. Never be less to make others more comfortable. That's just mediocrity. Great book. Thanks, Ant.

An incredible lack of self awareness as he time and time again criticised others arrogance. A book I wish I hadn’t started as I admired Ant but this was SO painful to read that I couldn’t finish it despite enduring 75% of it I could take no more but let me guess, he was first up and “better” than everyone else??

A bit too preachy, not as good as his first book
I loved Ant's first book, his story and lessons through his incredible life were brilliant, he is a shining example for the younger generation and i respect how he is trying to help others. However there seems to be only one lesson/ technique to take from this book (the visualising of fear bubbles) which could have been described in a few paragraphs rather than a full book. There are some interesting parts to his climb up everest, but i really struggled to get through the constant preaching about having a positive mindset. Positivity was covered in the first book, and this one feels like repitition. I'm afraid its barely 10% of what the first book was. I hate to leave anything other than a 5* review but i feel the rating of this book as 5/5 is inaccurate and am trying to correct that so others arent let down by this follow up to a truly 5* book

Wanted to like it
I bought this hoping to hear about adventure and principles for managing fear. I liked the principles about managing fear and can see value in his approach from the perspective of someone who's tried and tested it. I was also excited to hear about he Everest trek. I love Jocko Willink and other elite people, for example the David Goggins book.
But this absolutely falls flat for me. His assessments of psychological choice are based upon anecdotal experience and have little grounding in psychological development. I'm not saying that Ant isn't an extraordinary person, but he brings a machismo arrogance that isn't to my liking. Humility is an admirable quality and this doesn't have much of it. He talks about 'taking responsibility' when he was arrested, but it sounded more about saving face and not looking weak than admitting that his behaviour was off-key. He talks about crying like it's only used as manipulation. I lost interest half way through. Will return the book if I can.
If you read these comments Ant, how about taking a look at the impact of your experiences and taking responsibility for your behaviour? Rather than trying to tell others to basically 'man up', which is part of the problem for those with psychological trauma,, they don't seek help because they don't want to seem weak, until they hang themselves or jump off a train bridge. It's not just a simple choice for them.

Genuine, honest and very entertaining
Really enjoyed listening to Ant read his story. He uses story telling of his experiences to give you the tools to overcome fears and make sure you are living life and not just crusing in the comfort zone. I was worried this book would be like Ranulph Fiennes book Fear, which I also enjoyed, but it's not at all. I think Ant is very honest and detailed about his personal technique to overcome fear. Very refreshing and brave to hear something very genuine in this day and age. Great read and think its a book I would listen to again when I need to be brave.

I really enjoyed both reading and listening to Ant's previous book however, as interesting as this one was, it wasn't a page turner for me. This may have been because I have seen Ant on tour and I had heard most of this before. I did find Ant's mindset about fear and facing it interesting and have tried to overcome situations by using this. Don't get me wrong, it is a good book but the way it has been formatted and perhaps my previous knowledge spoiled it for me.

Inspirational
This is the kind of book I would happily give my children to read. Not only inspirational for them but for their mother. This book has given me the insight and motivation to challenge myself as I grow older. Now in my 60s life is setting up new challenges for me and it is so easy to be lazy. I don’t want my world to shrink and this book has opened my eyes to this. Thank you Ant Middleton.

Couldn’t recommend this more!
Fear holds us back from achieving what we are truly capable of, Ant’s method of containing fear within a bubble is incredible. It allows you to stop stressing the little things and be focused when in the bubble. This book is life changing!

Popping my own fear bubble
This book struck me on many levels. I listened to it whilst laying in hospital recovering from a 4th cancer surgery since being diagnosed in July 2020. My recovery and future surgeries will be placed into bubbles and popped one at a time.
I’d recommend this book to anyone going through a person struggle no matter how big or small.

Re-hashed stories
I like Ant's work, but having listened to a few....he re-hashes the same stories from a different angle. They sometimes get stuck...

Great book
I really enjoyed listening to this book, and a bonus that it was narrated by the author! He does have an accent though and can be a little difficult to understand at times but being a huge fan of his SAS shows I didn't mind at all. I thought the story was really interesting and I love his concept of the fear bubble. I have been applying it to my own life and it has been really helpful. At times he comes across as arrogant throughout his story but perhaps a bit of that is required to achieve what he has in life. Either way I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to his other books

Great book
This was great to listen to. I have started using snippets in my training & training others. It’s certainly one of the best of Ants I have read yet.
