Fearless: The Gripping Story of an Elite Navy Seals Recovery from Drug Abuse

Fearless is the captivating story of Navy Seal, Adam Brown.

Adam Brown was a highly decorated combat veteran with numerous awards including the :

Not only was Adam part of the elite group of Navy Seals, but he was in the top 1% of Navy Seals qualifying and serving with Seal Team 6.

Adam Brown was a mountain of a man known for his daring demeanor and mental tenaciousness that was unmatched at the highest levels. Contrasted at home as being a loving husband and father with a giant heart, love of children, and unquestionable loyalty and friendship. It is hard to imagine a man with greater drive or mental toughness and control.

But before Adam Brown joined the Navy, he suffered from the demons of addiction.

What struck me personally is how a man with greater toughness, self control, and drive than I can imagine, was rendered so utterly helpless in the face of addiction to substances.


There is a great debate going on on whether addiction is a brain disease or a matter of will. And although I agree that willpower is vitally important, willpower alone does not seem to be enough to achieve long term recovery from drug and/or alcohol abuse.

Adam Brown does not fit the worlds view of a person addicted to drugs. He destroys the stigma of a “junkie.”

To achieve long term recovery, you need both great courage and willpower. But if a guy like Adam Brown needed help, so does anyone and everyone working towards recovery from real addiction.

What struck me personally is how a man with greater toughness, self control, and drive than I can imagine, was rendered so utterly helpless in the face of addiction to substances.

If you are in recovery or know somebody that is, buy this book. It will blow you away.
