The Art of Fear by Kristen Ulmer
A revolutionary guide to acknowledging fear and developing the
tools we need to build a healthy relationship with this confusing
emotion—and use it as a positive force in our lives.
We all feel fear. Yet we are often taught to ignore it, overcome
it, push past it. But to what benefit? This is the essential
question that guides Kristen Ulmer’s remarkable exploration of our
most misunderstood emotion in The Art of Fear.
Influenced by Ulmer’s own complicated relationship with fear and
her over 15 years as a mindset facilitator, The Art of
Fear will reconstruct the way we react to and experience
fear—empowering us to easily and permanently address the underlying
cause of our fear-based problems, and setting us on course to live
a happier, more expansive future.

Power Quotes From The Show
"Many professionals are advising us to stay away from fear, but
I do the exact opposite. You think that all these modalities,
therapies, and medications would be helping us to conquer our fears
and anxieties, but they're only getting worse and worse. The
treatment for dealing with excessive fear and anxiety is actually
exasperating the underlying causes." - Kristen
Ulmer
"We should honor our fear in order to improve our relationship
with it. It just wants to be heard. Instead of spending so much
time thinking about our fear, what if we focused on feeling our
fear? Emotions are meant to be dealt with emotionally, not
intellectually." - Kristen Ulmer
"How we treat fear is exactly how we treat ourselves. If we're
embarrassed by fear, then we're embarrassed by ourselves. If we
hate our fear, we hate ourselves." -Kristen
Ulmer

About Kristen Ulmer
Kristen is thought leader, master facilitator and fear
specialist who radically challenges existing norms around the
subject of this deeply misunderstood emotion. Starting out as a
mogul specialist on the US Ski team, Kristen more notoriously
became recognized as being the best female big mountain extreme
skier in the world, a status she kept for 12 years. Known for
enormous cliff jumps and you-fall-you die descents, she became
sponsored by the likes of Red Bull, Ralph Lauren, and Nikon. Her
mastery of other danger sports including paragliding, ice and rock
climbing, kiteboarding, adventure mountain biking, and flying
trapeze also gained her the outdoor industry vote as most extreme
woman athlete in North America, beating all danger-sports stars,
not just skiers.
Retired as an athlete since 2003, she then spent the next 15
years going to the next level — studying intently with a Zen
Master, which led to facilitating thousands of clients, addressing
numerous subjects such as the mindset of optimal sports
performance, flow states, whole mind thinking, how to embrace
change, emotional intelligence and more. She developed a highly
effective teaching tool called Shift: The Game of 10,000 Wisdoms.
This is a facilitated dialog which helps groups or individuals
access the resources of their own minds to solve problems in a
matter of hours that would otherwise take decades of therapy to
achieve. Her revolutionary work has been featured in such media as
NPR, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, Forbes, USA
Today, Outside Magazine, Sports Illustrated and many more.
Kristen’s transition to thought leader on Fear came in 2012, the
day she realized that most of her client’s problems –such as
underperforming, insomnia, PTSD, panic attacks, excessive anxiety,
depression, excessive anger, excessive fear, indecisiveness and
more, were quickly and permanently resolved once she helped them
address their avoidance of fear.
