Increase your confidence, feel less anxious and get more out of life by taking small steps outside your comfort zone.

In The Fear Opportunity, Olympic Gold medallist Victoria Pendleton shows just how much you stand to gain by reframing your relationship with fear. This clear and practical book sets out how doing small, everyday things that scare you is the key to building self-confidence, handling anxiety, and coping when life gets bumpy.

The theory is one that drove Victoria to the heights of sporting success, winning multiple medals for cycling across her career. Since retiring, she's taken on huge challenges, from learning to be a jump jockey despite having barely ridden a horse, to attempting to climb Everest.

But Victoria - alongside the neuroscientists, researchers and psychologists she interviews - is clear that the lessons she's learned from her extreme experiences can be easily applied to your everyday life.

In The Fear Opportunity you'll learn the importance of the stories we tell ourselves and the powerful impact of changing them. Plus, Victoria examines five common major fears and unpacks how altering the way you see them can transform your life:

• Failure - can be understood as a bridge to improvement and a way to understand your intrinsic worth, whether you succeed or not
• Change - a doorway to exciting new opportunities and a chance to uncover what it is you really care about
• The unknown - leaning into uncertainty can make you more creative, curious and better able to navigate life's ups and downs
• Being different - in reality, fear of standing out is often a desire to connect and belong; acting on that instead will have clear and pleasurable benefits
• Death - perhaps the ultimate fear, and the ultimate call to appreciate everything life has to offer, while we have it

Packed with examples and clear takeaways, The Fear Opportunity is a life-affirming toolkit for positively channeling fear, using it to discover everything you're capable of, and understand what matters to you most.
