Although he talks about constantly getting rid of ego he contradicts himself ad nauseam by playing the macho-role, refusing to take advice from the experts in his team qualified to lead him, and generally putting everyones life in danger purely because he is seeking out the most extreme adrenaline rush. After watching Ant climb Everest in his program and going to see him live talking about it I was unsure whether this book would bring anything extra to the table. I've been asked to read this book, and part of me wishes i haven't, because i will never be able to see its author in the same light i used to. He also had a lot to say about the 'victim mindset' and how prevalent this is in modern popular culture.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. 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.Found it super inspiring and interesting to read different approaches to mindset that I haven’t come across before.

I'm not sure quite why I read this (cheap kindle deal/curiosity I expect) but I didn't expect to come away with so much dislike of Ant Middleton.For further information about your statutory rights, contact your local authority Trading Standards department or consumer advice centre (for example the Citizen's Advice Bureau if you are in the UK). For me personally it was thoroughly enjoyable, I actually haven’t read his first book, or know much about him until I read this, which 3/4 in, led me to binge on some of his ‘SASwhodareswins’ tv series.

Over the past couple of years I've listened to a number of people and read a number of books that emphasise the importance of a positive mindset and techniques for turning a negative mindset around. As well as the internal struggle, there is always the case of being surrounded by the right people and removing the wrongs one. Love him or hate him Ant Middleton has come up with a different way to look at combating fear and anxiety. You might not be able to guarantee what lies on the other side of what you fear, but harnessing your fear and working through it leads to growth, new adventures and opportunities.There's people who have been on his back in the past about speaking of control and supposedly being hypocritical since he had a case of assault in the past. I really like this book for ant middletons ways of getting his own personal struggles over to the reader and to help or give advice to others. When it comes to reading a book from an author that is telling an autobiographical account of their life, with some shared methods and tools of self improvement, this book really shines with very good balance. He is good at explaining how to keep pushing through, how the "fear bubble" should only there at that moment. I consider myself to have a positive outlook as much as possible, and for parts of the book I felt like I understood what Ant was explaining as I do exactly the same.

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.He tried to imagine a bubble around the place and event ie he needed to gain entry to a room where the bad guy was, and to not be afraid until he stepped into the bubble. So glad I heard the review on Virgin Radio, possibly the most balanced book between adventure, integrity and life strategy ever. There were other scenes where I thought he was putting others at risk because he wanted to be the alpha male in the group.
