The Bravery Effect

The Bravery Effect is an engaging parable about facing the fears that hold you back from achieving what you truly want. Fear holds us back--not just in our workplaces, but in our relationships and personal lives. We stay in our warm cocoon of comfort, believing it keeps us safe. But in reality, we've fallen into a trap. We treat discomfort as something to be avoided, when in fact it's the very thing we need to embrace to grow. In The Bravery Effect, leadership expert and former Marine Corps officer Jill Schulman weaves a compelling, science-backed parable that reveals a life-changing truth: The key to a fulfilling, regret-free life isn't avoiding discomfort--it's leaning into it. This is what it means to be brave. Bravery is the bridge between where you are today and the life you truly want. It's about running toward what scares you rather than away from it--because that's where real transformation happens. Like a muscle, bravery grows stronger with practice. It requires discomfort, but just like in the gym, the reward comes when we put in the work. This book reveals the three keys to building your bravery muscle: * Developing a brave mindset - Rewire how you think about fear and discomfort. * Taking bold action - Move forward despite fear and uncertainty. * Curating courageous connections - Build relationships that support and challenge you. Through a relatable, engaging story, The Bravery Effect will help you break free from the comfort trap and take bold steps toward success, impact, and greater life satisfaction. The book includes downloadable tools to help you put bravery into action immediately. Are you ready to build your bravery muscle?
