My Love Affair with Fear: How Fear Enabled Me to Become Who I Was Created to Be

Description: Brad's life has been tested -his body ravaged by disease, his resilience tested with the loss of two sons, and his life spared during death-defying moments. As tough as these moments have been, he shares his insights into 'dancing with fear'. Brad believes leaning into our personal challenges shapes stronger individuals. His epic escapades have given him an awareness of his true self - who he really is; what his priorities are; validating the limits of his skill sets, mental fortitude, and grit. Brad's storytelling incorporates his remarkable talent for sharing thoughts, sights, sounds, and scents while learning to utilize that gut-wrenching feeling to his advantage by stepping into adventures with fear as a partner - the greatest tool for personal discovery, growth, and becoming all we've been created to be. Join Brad as he decides which of two drowning students to save; clings to a coral wall while stalked by a deadly predator; plunges down a mountain on the toe of an avalanche; receives the verdict: "You've been diagnosed with cancer, again". When you finish this memoir, you'll not only be entertained, but inspired by practical strategies encouraging you to explore and discover how to use fear as your ally. "I can't push aside my fear; it's omnipresent. Managing my fear enables me to be more alive - to live a fuller and richer life." Brad's researched fear as an educator for 51 years, traveling to 67 countries, residing in 6. He's a University of Calgary 'Teaching Excellence' Hall of Fame inductee; coauthor of a Canadian 'Best-Seller'; Banff International Mountain Film Festival 'Gold Medalist'; London Olympics 'Technical Official'; Canada's University 'Volleyball Coach of the Year'; past coach of the Canadian National Volleyball Team, and professionally in Italy, Switzerland and Japan; won more National Championship rings than he has fingers. Brad lives in Calgary, Canada with his wife Bonnie MacRae-Kilb (artist and former National Volleyball Team Player). His six adult children are scattered across North America raising his six grandchildren. Brad loves outdoor activities, mentoring, and West Coast carving.
