One of the best pieces of content ever

This is an extremely well researched and constructed books with concrete actions on how to make fear our eternal dance partner in life. Fearvana has also tied the loose ends on many concepts taught to me by other coaches and mentors. Can not wait to put this into action, thank you Akshay!

Life changed forever

It's been a while since I finished reading and taking notes on Fearvana. I have already recommended this book to many friends, because it changed my perspective on life's stressors and challenges, and changed my whole perspective on life.
Fearvana helped me realize that I have a lot of negative thoughts about myself that I was completely blind to. This book is the tool to recognize fears and realize how sometimes the things we fear are the exact things that will be the most rewarding, making us the happiest most fulfilled versions of ourselves. I have changed my attitude dramatically towards "boring" tasks such as studying, training, and job applications, because Akshay’s book taught me to fall in love with the struggle and to love the process, because it gives us strength and makes us better. Fearvana taught me that everything that I want and everything in my life that is important requires hard work and struggle, and requires facing fears and being uncomfortable.
Fearvana taught me that a lot of my emotional responses were the “second dart syndrome” of judging myself. Learning Akshay’s "second-dart" definition has given me more control and made me a lot more confident. I can now view my stress and anxiety from a new perspective because of this book! I view my stress response as a sign that I'm passionate about changing and accepting myself, and I’m improving my self-talk and mental strength every day.

Fearvana inspired me to go out of my comfort zone and seek out those fearful experiences that strengthen us. I’m more comfortable with them and I know I can use this new strength to my advantage in all areas of life.

This book will no doubt inspire you to realize how much of your life is controlled by fear and hopefully, like me, inspire you to start living the life you want!

Thanks Akshay!

Using my fear to move beyond myself to find the Self. I want to become better as a person, friend, stranger, helper. Ashkay's book has certainly been that tidal push in the right direction. I couldn't have found a better start to the rest of my journey. Thank you Akshay.

Must Read Book For Men! Don't Be Scared.

Learn how to turn FEAR into Power!!! Favorite book of 2022!!!

I had thought I handled my fears and controlled my mind. Then my life changed, and some old experiences and feelings started coming back into my mind. I push these thoughts out for a while, but they always find their way around. Then these feelings became more intense. After some soul searching, I realized the feelings I was experiencing and naming anxiety, pressure, and overwhelm, were my fears. These FEARS showed up by different names, but at the root of them, all was FEAR. I was fortunate to be in a small setting where Akshay spoke, and I instantly understood his message. I purchased FEARVANA and read it in less than a day. I'm now on my second reading, where I'm going through his process and implementing the strategies he shares throughout each chapter.

If you're a man hiding behind FEAR, do yourself a favor and read this book. Do the work, and punch FEAR in the face once and for all. Fear isn't your enemy. Learn to use your fears to reach your true potential in life.

BOOM!!!

Enlightening and informative

This book was a great tool to listen while on long runs. It gave me dramatic insight into the human brain but also weaved in real life examples of those who overcame. Loved it!
