Summary

Drawing on the theoretical roots of the Stoics, Buddhism, popular psychology and CBT, Ben has created a unique programme that anyone can follow. Join Ben on his journey from anxious mess to back in control. This book is packed with fun and practical challenges that rlisteners can try themselves, all in the name of self-improvement!

Thanks to having undertaken these challenges himself, Ben now has an unusual selection of hobbies, a host of interesting new skills, some fantastic dinner party stories, and plenty of wonderful experiences...and most importantly he now feels calmer, healthier, happier, and more at peace.

Split into three types of activity - mental, physical, and skilful - the challenges range from climbing a mountain to sleeping on a beach in a bivvy bag in a storm to having a conversation in Japanese. Follow Ben in learning how to pick a lock, how to solve a Rubik’s Cube in under a minute and how to memorize the order of a deck of cards after seeing it only once (the ultimate party trick). Along the way, he's eaten some repulsive insects, whilst also creating a new morning routine that freed up the time to write this book. Try out Ben's challenges...or create some of your own, with the help of the challenge tracker!

helping me with anxiety

This book has helped a lot with my anxiety. not only is it informative, it has also made me giggle a few times. Most importantly, listening has gave me hope that I will get out of this anxious cycle by introducing some great things! I've started to learn Arabic, and have been learning how to grow my own food.
Cold morning showers have got me up and out, just waiting for the day when I feel comfortable and used to them :)

would highly recommend to everyone who feels like they are feeling and doing the same thing over and over feeling stuck.

An inspiring, honest, personal and inspiring book underpinned with a first hand experiences and learnings. 💯

A really great book with lots of creative and challenging ideas about how you can get out of your comfort zone, challenge yourself and build a stronger, more resilient mindset.

Ben has taken a very personal approach to writing this book. Every challenge Ben talks about, he has done himself, he shares his own experiences and how they impacted his life - making this book so credible.

If you’re stuck in a bit of a negative cycle of self doubt, or already feel top of your game and want to take things to the next level, this book is for you!

Feed the right wolf!

Absolutely awesome book!

I really loved this book. It’s filled with fun and practical challenges and loads of useful philosophy. I think it’s going to be really helpful for loads of people. I’ve already completed a few of the challenges and now have a massive list of ones I want to try. I’ve also found a new interest in Stoicism. I highly recommend it!

Really enjoyed this book

Really enjoyed this book, not all of the challenges sparked my interest and some of them are already the way I live my life. But some of them are great ideas and a good way to move you away from your comfort zone I’ve already completed several whilst listening! Definitely worth a read/listen!

Avoid

It made me comfortable, sent me asleep. Some people have a voice for radio or audio books the author isn’t one.
