FEAR IS FUEL The Surprising Power to Help You Find Purpose, Passion, and Performance

The core message in this high-energy audio guide is that embracing our fear allows us to implement habits and mechanisms that help us to conquer it. Boston baseball radio personality Lou Merloni delivers this lively assemblage of neurology, performance studies, and personal anecdotes. His sports-announcer tone works well despite occasional glitches with phrasing or pacing. He sounds most effective when bantering with the author and interviewing celebrities in the spontaneous podcast-like segments that appear throughout the audio. These chats and interviews add color to the author's well-crafted writing, though some of the liveliness in these conversations needs reining in. Overall, the audiobook is an encouraging mix of helpful strategies and the enthusiastic vocal personalities of its narrator. T.W. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2021]
