The instant New York Times bestseller
‘Extraordinary’ – Kim Scott, bestselling author of Radical Candor
Be weird. Be selfish. Be shameless. Be obsessed. Be nosy. Be manipulative. Be brutal. Be reckless.

Full of actionable advice, Wild Courage coaches you to smash through your fear of discomfort, failure and the judgement of others, to embrace your boldest self in pursuit of your goals.
