Akshay Nanavati has overcome drug addiction, PTSD from fighting in Iraq with the Marines (where one of his jobs was to walk in front of vehicles to find bombs), depression and alcoholism that pushed him to the brink of suicide.

Since then, by embracing his demons, he has built a global business, run multiple ultramarathons, climbed mountains in the Himalayas, spent 10 days in darkness and isolation, skied 350 miles across the world’s 2nd largest icecap, and become 1 of only 26 people to ski up a remote glacier in Antarctica, where he lost 2 fingers to frostbite. Despite 4 biological defects including a blood disorder that 2 doctors told him would kill him in boot camp, he is now a sponsored athlete and is currently training for a solo, 110 day, 1700 mile, never-before-accomplished crossing of Antarctica.

Combining his life experience with years of research in neuroscience, psychology and spirituality, he wrote the book “Fearvana," about which the Dalai Lama said “Fearvana inspires us to look beyond our own agonizing experiences and find the positive side of our lives.” Akshay is on a mission to help our human family explore the edges and fall in love with suffering in order to create a life of greater meaning, purpose, joy and fulfillment.
