About the Book

This book is a meditation on facing fear, heartbreak and mortality. It is the story of a man who in rapid succession has his wife die in his arms, loses his house and his job and is left to care for his 19-month old daughter. Oddly enough, the best tools for coping with all of this were those he learned in more than two decades of the martial arts practice. NOT AFRAID tackles this extremely heavy subject matter in a lighthearted style and with an attitude that acknowledges pain and suffering, but denies them dominion over one's life. In his own irreverent and inimitable style, Daniele Bolleli tells the story of his courtship and marriage, which would have been a sweet story had not all hell broken loose. Or as he puts it, "Hell was a ninja who entered my house without being seen. It all began in such an unremarkable way that it barely registered as anything meaningful. Little did I know that the experiences of the next five months would rip me apart and kill me. They would reforge me into a different man. On that day, I became an unwilling travelLer on a journey through the heart of fear. Every step along the way has forced me to face my fears time and time again." In autobiographical fashion, NOT AFRAID recounts how martial arts practice and personally relating to fear inducing experiences can affect and shape one's personality. The result is a page turning book about beauty as well as tragedy, hope as well as despair.

About the Author :

Review :
"The honesty and authenticity in Daniele's writing is truly inspirational. Most books about life are written with kid gloves and give us old school clichés to handle adversity. Daniele has gone through some of the most difficult situations a father, husband, and all around warrior can go through. He gives us an honest look into the pain, heartache, and process of fighting back against things that would bring most to their knees. Everyone can relate to the feelings and thoughts Daniele displays. We can only hope to someday have his strength and conviction to come through and thrive!" --AJ Hawk, 2011 Superbowl Champion with the Green Bay Packers "A true warrior poet, Daniele bleeds on these pages with fearless vulnerability and uncensored humor. The narrative starts with the challenges of a 'sensitive little nerd' overcoming his fear to turn pro in the realest combat sport in the world, building momentum as it carries the reader through his epic struggle with the death of his true love. For those of us who know the author from his many podcast appearances, his written word is as raw as the spoken counterpart--It's like a little hologram of our favorite Italian reading the story in your head." --Aubrey Marcus, writer and CEO of Onnit.com "Bolelli is a genius warrior philosopher. What he talks about here is the opposite of a victim's mentality. By sharing the emotionally apocalyptic experiences he has gone through, he gives a gift to anyone who is struggling with the dragon of fear and sadness. For me to hear this story and to think of everything that happened to him, and then to think about my own little doldrums that I fall into--suddenly I'm invigorated. Everyone please listen, open your ears and open your hearts to the incredible, the brilliant and the super sweet Daniele Bolelli." --Duncan Trussell, comedian and host of the podcast The Duncan Trussell Family Hour
