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.

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.

Inspiring and entertaining

Ant provides intriguing insights into extreme experiences, including the ascent to Everest and being a soldier in a war zone. Through these extremes he explores different types of fear, the brilliant idea of the fear bubble and then makes it relatable to our everyday lives.
