Fearvana: Using Fear and Suffering to Create a Meaningful Life with Akshay Nanavati - #466

Akshay Nanavati is an adventurer, speaker, author and Veteran, who has overcome drug addiction, war induced PTSD, and depression. Akshay has built a global business, completed multiple ultramarathons, spent 10 days in darkness and isolation, and lost a finger from frostbite while skiing in Antarctica, despite being diagnosed with 4 biological defects that multiple doctors told him would end his life while training. 

 

Combining his life experience with years of research in science and spirituality, he wrote the book “Fearvana," which the Dalai Lama wrote the foreword for. All the profits from the book are going toward charity. Akshay is now on a mission to help our human family fall in love with suffering in order to create a life of greater meaning, purpose, joy and fulfillment.
