More about The Fearless Mind Program
Dr Manning explains what is included in The Fearless Mind resource center.
Becoming Fearless
Fearless is not reckless. Too often we think of being fearless as not having fear, not true. Being fearless is about knowing how to control the mind and eliminate the fear as soon as it comes. The Fearless Mind combines scientific knowledge and over a decade of coaching experience into one program that helps individuals become fearless by controlling the mind.
Developing a Fearless Mind
The mind is at the core of everything we do. If the mind is strong there is nothing we cannot achieve. Yet so many people neglect the mind, ignore it, or treat it as part of our DNA, believing that it will take care of itself. Not true, the mind needs to be trained, exercised. If it doesn’t get exercised atrophy kicks in. We lose control of who we are and what we are doing. The mind is like a muscle—it needs to be exercised regularly.

Reach Your Goals
A Fearless Mind is what separates the elite athlete from the ordinary, the productive business person from the unproductive, and the musicians that perform on national stages and those that play small parties. It separates the great from the good. It is the difference between reaching our goals and giving up. Someone without a Fearless Mind can have all the natural talents or ability and not make it as far as someone with a Fearless Mind with average ability. Our potential and practice only can take us so far in life, it is through removing the interference from our lives by having a Fearless Mind that will eventually lead us to what we want to achieve.
