Publisher's summary

From the New York Times best-selling author of I'm Judging You, a hilarious and powerful book that talks about how to tackle fear - that everlasting hater - and live boldly and audaciously in spite of all the reasons we have to cower.

Luvvie Ajayi is known for her trademark wit, warm voice and exceptional integrity. But even she's been challenged by the enemy of progress known as fear. She was once afraid to call herself a writer because she was afraid of the title. She nearly skipped out on doing a TED talk that changed her life because of imposter syndrome. Also, she's deathly afraid of bugs. And, as she shares in The Fear Fighter Manual, she's not alone.

We're all afraid of asking for what we want because we're afraid of hearing 'no'. We're afraid of being different, of being too much or not enough. We're afraid of leaving behind the known for the unknown. But in order to do the things that will truly meaningfully change our lives, we have to become professional troublemakers: people who are committed to not letting fear talk them out of the things they need to do or say.

With humour and honesty, and guided by the influence of her inspiring and professional troublemaking grandmother, Funmilayo Faloyin, Luvvie walks us through what we must get right within ourselves before we can do the things that scare us; how to use our voice for a greater good; and how to put movement to the voice we've been silencing - because truth-telling is a muscle.

The point is not to be fearless. It is to know we are afraid and to charge forward regardless, to recognise the things we must do are more significant than the things we are afraid to do. This book shows you how she's done it and how you can, too.

The bomb diggity!

I loved this so much!

I see myself listening to it again just to pump myself more and smash my goals. I have been a fan of Luvvie since Jesus & Jollof and there episodes she spoke about this upcoming at the time and this is it! It’s so assuring to see that she definitely walks her talk! Congratulations on such a splendid body of work, here’s to many more books and wisdom. 🙏🏾❤️
