No Time for Fear

2016 Edition

How a shark attack survivor beat the odds.

Improvise. Adapt. Overcome. These three words - the mantra of the Australian army - resonated with Paul de Gelder the first time he heard them.

Paul chased adventure wherever he could find it, from his wild ride as a hoodlum teen and his drug- and alcohol-fuelled stint working in a strip club to hauling his way up to the elite echelons of the defence forces. But trouble hunted him down in the form of a brutal shark in February 2009.

Paul lost two limbs, and his career as a daredevil navy clearance diver was flung into jeopardy. Drawing on everything his eventful life had taught him, Paul left nothing to chance in his recovery. He fought through excruciating pain, smashing challenge after challenge and amazing the medical staff with his will to succeed. His inspiring story takes 'never say die' to a whole new level.

Wonderful story!

Paul is one of the most robust people on the planet. After trying to find his life's purpose he joins the military and ultimately gets attacked by a shark. As a result, he loses his arm and leg. he didn't let that stop him from living a fulfilling life. It's incredibly motivating the mental strength required by Paul to get through this and live a happy and fulfilling life. I also recommend any of his videos on YouTube.

Wow!!!

Inspired!!!

Speechless! Beyond inspiring!
Not only is this story life changing, but the way it is written, you feel like you truly travel with Paul through his childhood, life adventures and challenges.
Great writing, great story and great narration!
I highly recommend this book to everyone!
My 8 year old listened in with me, was very much into it and is now a huge fan of Paul’s!!!
I’m a single mom and knowing my son had role models like Paul to look up to, is priceless.

Amazing book!!

This was such an inspirational book! I came across the title during Shark Week and as a new amputee, I decided to check it out. So many of the descriptions in this book are spot on! The grit and determination that Paul has is definitely an incredible inspiration as I go through PT to prepare for my first prosthetic and as I deal with the emotional ups and downs that come after an amputation. Thank you Paul de Gelder!!!

Excellent

An inspiring story that everyone should listen to. Paul's retelling and recounting of his experiences is nothing short of the push that everyone needs to strive more, do better, and live life to the fullest.
