Mastering Fear
I am gobbling up the book Mastering Fear — A Navy Seal’s Guide by Brandon Webb and John David Mann. Webb is the Navy Seal. Mann is the co-author of The Go-Giver books who has helped Webb write several titles, including a soon-to-be-released novel.
Mastering Fear is a great book! Earlier this year, I wrote about Eddie Murphy and how he embraces fear. This book shows you how to do it — how to master fear not by burying it but by embracing it. Powerful lessons for business and life beyond the workplace.

“I want a house with a crowded table
And a place by the fire for everyone
Let us take on the world while we’re young and able
And bring us back together when the day is done”
