More About the Author

Until the age of thirty Geoff Thompson had worked through a plethora of menial jobs, from glass collector to floor sweeper; he even spent a decade working as a nightclub bouncer.

Convinced that there must be more to life than this, Geoff decided to become a martial arts instructor (polled as the number one self defence instructor in the world by Black Belt magazine USA) then followed this by living out his dream of becoming a writer.

He is now the author of thirty-four books published in 15 languages, five multi-award-winning films (one BAFTA nominated, one BAFTA winning), three stage plays and hundreds of published articles.

Geoff's autobiography, Watch My Back, has been adapted into a major motion picture, Clubbed.

This review is from: Fear: The Friend of Exceptional People: How to Turn Negative Attitudes in to Positive Outcomes (Paperback)

Nice easy and quick read.
He interviews soldiers who were on patrol in Northern Ireland when Britain was involved with that fiasco.
He also tries to highlight the difference between FEAR and an Adrenalin Dump.
Not a bad book. Will it help me control fear...for example in a fight or when in a precarious situation......SADLY NO.
