Summary

Have you felt fear, guilt, anxiety, upset, frustration, and have no idea how to deal with it? Should you hide it? Should you embrace it? Should you let it out? Akshay Nanavati, United States Marine veteran, speaker, entrepreneur, ultra runner, and author of FEARVANA: The Revolutionary Science of How to Turn Fear into Health, Wealth, and Happiness, has such destructive guilt when his buddy died in a war when he is not there. To make it worse, he wishes it was him that died and not his buddy. The guilt had haunted him for years and years until he realized he had to turn them into something positive, and his life changed. Listen to Akshay's stories, his journey, and his journey of making a change for himself. My new book Skip The Line is out! Make sure you get a copy wherever you get your new book!
