A Read That’s Guaranteed To Having You Living Life With Greater Meaning, More Confidence & Less Regret
With a foreword by Sir Richard Branson, the latest book, The Courage Map, from Australian entrepreneurs and founder of Basic Bananas, Oceanlovers and Moments of Humanity, Franziska Iseli explores the powerful force of courage. The Courage Map unpacks exactly what courage is and how we can expand our ‘courage boundaries’ in order to live life – both personally and professionally – with greater meaning, more confidence and less regret.
According to Branson, as he describes in the book’s foreword, “Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is feeling fear and doing it anyway. Courage is not about being reckless, it’s about taking calculated risks. Courage enables you to take action instead of waiting for the confidence to do so.”
Inspired by her motorbike ride in 2018/2019 from Switzerland, along the Silk Road and into Asia with a stop at the Iranian border where she got denied entry, Iseli draws upon her experiences on the road during the 12’000 kilometre journey to develop a guide that leans into 13 key principles of discovering courage.
Paired with her own entrepreneurial experiences of building businesses and making mistakes, Iseli draws on her own failures and successes and dissects how those experiences can help us to evolve and adjust, rather than stay stuck in the same place. By the end, readers will have designed their very own Courage Map for living boldly.
“What I’ve realised as I get older, is that we tend to allow our courage boundaries to shrink as we begin to avoid potentially painful and risky experiences. But as your boundaries shrink, so do your possibilities,” explains Iseli, “We all have plenty of ideas and dreams to live an exceptional life. What some of us lack is the courage to turn those ideas into reality. Courage is a skill.”
Unpacking the 13 principles of courage which include stories, truth, intentions, trust, intuition, love, kindness, imperfection, non-attachment, flow, playfulness, evolution and commitment, each chapter reflects upon how the principals can be adapted to our own reality to live more boldly.
Accompanying each of the 13 principles of courage, Iseli has developed a framework of thought-provoking questions, pit stops and travel tunes to encourage you to apply them to your own life, regardless of age, gender, application or desired destination.
“Every day I see people doing great things in the world. What do they have in common? The courage to go after their dreams and make a positive impact. Franziska’s book shows how that message can support you in running your life and business based on courage, love and kindness instead of fear” shares Sir Richard Branson.
The Courage Map, is for anyone looking to be more courageous, both in business and in their personal lives, for anyone looking for ways to make the most out of life by living their truth, and for those looking to move beyond the drama of the day-to-day in order to live a more fulfilled and fulfilling life.
