Be Fearless - Jean Case

Be Fearless is researched-based call to action for those seeking to live extraordinary lives and bring about transformational change. \n \n LOS ANGELES TIMES BESTSELLER * NATIONAL BESTSELLER \n \n Weaving together storytelling, practical tips and inspiration, the book will teach you how to put the five fearless principles to work so that you too can spark the sorts of remarkable breakthroughs that can impact the world. Philanthropist, investor, and technology pioneer Jean Case brings to life the five Be Fearless principles common to the people and organizations that bring about transformational change. \n \n When National Geographic Chairman Jean Case set out to investigate the core qualities of great change makers, past and present, from inventors to revolutionaries, she found five surprising traits they all had in common. These weren't wealth, privilege, or even genius. What all of these exceptional men and women shared was that they had chosen to make a big bet, take bold risks, learn from their failures, reach beyond their bubbles, and let urgency conquer fear. \n \n Throughout Be Fearless, Jean vividly illustrates these principles through storytelling-from her own transformational life experiences, to Jane Goodall's remarkable breakthroughs in understanding and protecting chimpanzees, to celebrity chef Jose Andres' decision to be a first responder and take his kitchen to the sites of devastating hurricanes to feed the hungry, to Madame C.J. Walker's vision to build a hair care empire that would employ thousands across the country, and more. She shares new insights to stories you might think you know-like Airbnb's tale of starting from scratch to transform the hospitality industry, to John F. Kennedy's history-making moonshot-and gems from changemakers you've never heard of. Be Fearless features a compelling foreword from Jane Goodall saying there is no time in history when it has been more important to Be Fearless and a new afterword with stories of people inspired to take action after reading the book. \n
