When he reaches the exact moment he's fearful of, he visualises his fear within a bubble, the "fear bubble" which he steps in to and bursts. However he is finding himself not just being drawn to danger of seeking it out anywhere he can from running through traffic, to a "camping trip" to the most dangerous place on earth.

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. Whatever Brownie points I might give him for being honest about the above I would take away for his hypocrisy as he relentlessly sneers at 'tourist' climbers who are ill-prepared for the task. 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. I also liked how he gave real life examples of people he meets and when he gives them advise he doesn’t claim that those people are now the happiest people in the world.Put yourself in the correct frame of mind and challenge yourself constantly - you can prove to yourself that you're 'good enough' one hundred times a day. This was so interesting to read about and his talk of popping your personal fear bubbles allowing you to move forward in life instead of being stuck in a rut of fear of moving forward. There was a scene where his attitude to an ice fall that would have killed them, if they had paused 10 minutes before, was well it didn't, move on! i.e identifying when one is safe - interludes between the more prominent 'fight or flight' moments - to picture 'fear bubbles' and feel and use them productively to drive us momentarily instead of fear looming over us permanently and detrimentally.

The book covers Ants childhood, upbringing and trails and tribulations growing up through certain events including the army, Marines and SBS and experiencing those kind of folk therein. The journey up the mountain was always going to be dangerous, but was even more so given Middleton’s determination to feel true fear. I think a lot of people will take those concepts and be able to apply them easily and successfully to their lives. People sit around and do very little but project by way of their own egos the sadness they hold within themselves.

For further information about your statutory rights, contact your local authority Trading Standards department or consumer advice center (for example the Citizen's Advice Bureau if you are in the UK). Arriving the middle of the book, I started doubting the potential of this book, Middelton tells me stories and I wasn't there for that, I wanted outlooks, lessons. Best SAS:WDW books for me are Foxy’s two (second one was the best and probably my favourite overall), and Ollie Ollerton’s ‘Break Point’.

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. He might not burst it first time every time, having to step back outside it for a moment to gather himself and re-enter. Two stars though, one for the decent descriptions of the Everest ascent and one for comedy (it's not supposed to funny, I know, but the whole alpha male struggle. Everyone will naturally have their own opinion on the star rating of this book, as it’s going to relate to people in different ways. Ant Middleton is no stranger to 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.

The Everest part was interesting for me personally as my dad went to Base Camp for his 65th birthday, I always knew he was fit, but I hadn't realised how hard it was mentally. Love him or hate him Ant Middleton has come up with a different way to look at combating fear and anxiety. There are times when life feels like it has you cornered: financial difficulties, relationship issues, work problems, all of the above. His way is his own for telling or explaining and it may not be for everyone but its defiantly worth a read. I've already seen the TV show of the Everest trip so I knew in advance what happened but I still enjoyed reading more detail about it.
