Daniele Bolelli is a writer and university professor. He has, also, fought professionally in mixed martial arts and appeared in I Am Bruce Lee (2012). His own podcast The Drunken Taoist is regularly rated among the most downloaded worldwide in the "philosophy" category of iTunes.
Not Afraid, is an adventure story of the truest, deepest
sort. In recounting his story with enormous courage, sincerity, and
wit, Daniele Bolelli reminds us that real adventure always involves
great risk and often, unimaginable loss. Life's toughest adventures
aren't the mountains we set out to climb or the jungles we explore;
they're the quiet challenges that come looking for us where we
live. You've never read a story like this or known a man like this.
I recommend both without hesitation. --Chris Ryan, the
New York Times bestselling author of Sex at Dawn--

A true warrior poet, Daniele bleeds on these pages with fearless
vulnerability and uncensored humor. The narrative starts with the
challenges of a 'sensitive little nerd' overcoming his fear to turn
pro in the realest combat sport in the world, building momentum as
it carries the reader through his epic struggle with the death of
his true love. For those of us who know the author from his many
podcast appearances, his written word is as raw as the spoken
counterpart--It's like a little hologram of our favorite Italian
reading the story in your head. --Aubrey Marcus, writer and
CEO of Onit.com-- "Reviews"
An inspiring life story about overcoming fear. This is a necessary
task, no matter what you do in life. Whether you are an amateur or
professional athlete, you will be able to draw many similarities to
your sport. At the same time, this book gives us a great reminder
to enjoy the ride while it lasts. Well done Daniele, you did it
again! --Bostjan Nachbar, professional basketball player--

Bolelli is a genius warrior philosopher. What he talks about here
is the opposite of a victim's mentality. By sharing the emotionally
apocalyptic experiences he has gone through, he gives a gift to
anyone who is struggling with the dragon of fear and sadness. For
me to hear this story and to think of everything that happened to
him, and then to think about my own little doldrums that I fall
into--suddenly I'm invigorated. Everyone please listen, open your
ears and open your hearts to the incredible, the brilliant and the
super sweet Daniele Bolelli. --Duncan Trussell, comedian and
host of the podcast The Duncan Trussell Family Hour--

The honesty and authenticity in Daniele's writing is truly
inspirational. Most books about life are written with kid gloves
and give us old school cliches to handle adversity. Daniele has
gone through some of the most difficult situations a father,
husband, and all around warrior can go through. He gives us an
honest look into the pain, heartache, and process of fighting back
against things that would bring most to their knees. Everyone can
relate to the feelings and thoughts Daniele displays. We can only
hope to someday have his strength and conviction to come through
and thrive! --AJ Hawk, 2011 Superbowl Champion with the
Green Bay Packers-- "Reviews"
