THE ART OF FEAR Why Conquering Fear Won't Work and What to Do Instead

Jane Oppenheimer narrates this deep dive into our complicated relationship with one of our most primal emotions. For 12 years Kristen Ulmer proudly held the title of "World's Best Extreme Skier." She fearlessly flew down any mountain she could find--but eventually grew to understand that she'd have to face her fears about fear. Oppenheimer reflects the author's intelligence, humor, and highly competitive spirit with a healthy mix of confidence and compassion. Oppenheimer's voice intensifies as Ulmer recounts her life in extreme sports, including 15 years as a mindset facilitator. She challenges the listener to not repress or battle fear, but to work with it. Authentically experiencing fear can be as exhilarating as doing a backflip off a ski jump. Intense listening.
