Steven Bartlett with Alex Honnold
World-renowned free solo climber Alex Honnold does not have a fearless brain; he has decades of practice managing fear. The book explores how confronting mortality can sharpen how you choose risk, focus, and meaning.
Fear is managed through decades of exposure therapy and practice, showing how people can train themselves to handle greater pressure.
The illusion of safety can trap people into unexamined lifestyle risks, whereas intentional risk-taking can lead to a life with fewer regrets.
Massive, seemingly impossible goals are achieved by breaking them down into extremely small, highly prepared individual steps.
