THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
Has anyone read this?

It came recommended by my boss and I was wondering what ARF thought about it?

There are several books titled Fearless. Can you be more specific?

Just finished it.
Amazing story of Adam Brown, a guy who went from about as low as you can go (drugs), then with the help of God, a good woman and family managed to rise above it all.
The fact that he even got in the Navy, nevermind BUD/S, is really a testament to his "never quit" mentality and an inspiring story.
Highly recommended.

What everyone above said. I borrowed it from a guy at work and then bought a copy for myself and another to send home for the family to read. Amazing story, it will make you want to be a better person yourself.

I read this about a month ago.

Quote possibly the most inspiring biography I've ever read.

I really respect the way he insisted that if anyone ever told his story, they had to include how low he fell before he found his legs because he understood that this was as much a part of who he was as what came after.
