Courage can turn your ordinary life into an
extraordinary adventure!
Why do some people have the courage to make brave decisions and lead exciting, rewarding, and impactful lives while others only sit on the sidelines, watching enviously?
Entrepreneur and adventurer Franziska Iseli believes that anyone can learn to unlock their inner courage and live an extraordinary life. She decided to write a book about courage while on a multi-year motorbike journey around the world. All of that “helmet time” allowed her to ponder what so many people ask her about her businesses and daring international adventures:
Where do you find the courage to do what you do?

In this, her third book, Iseli shares her 13 principles for living a life of courage and breaking through any barriers or obstacles life throws your way.
The Courage Map features positive affirmations for each chapter. For example:
“ My thoughts and beliefs are supporting me”
“I am living boldly and without regrets.”
“I am the author of my own stories.”
Embark on this exciting adventure with Iseli as you discover how to unlock the boundless courage and power within you.
Their Travel Section is spotlighted in each chapter with exercises for you to think about. It’s more like a workbook and you should write your observations in a journal, in my opinion.
Here are a few questions for you to ponder on your journey to courage:
“When are you most likely to close your heart?”
“People generally have good intentions.”
“What would happen if you trusted your instincts more often?

Excerpt from The Courage Map:
“Trust is one of the biggest key drivers to living boldly. Without trust, your actions and decisions are more likely to be guided by uncertainties and fears. Trust supports you in stepping into courage even when you are faced with challenges. “
