Fearless
 
The practical, no-nonsense style of this leadership book is designed to engage high-school readers. How can young people create projects of their own? Can teenagers really start their own enterprises, mobilize teams, and lead? Young people are full of ideas. Many don't know how to implement them, or face psychological age barriers. More than just how-to, Fearless describes the skills necessary to achieve success. Key lessons include:

- Overcoming the age barrier
- Understanding the moral foundations of leadership: honesty and integrity
- Dynamic public speaking and salesmanship
- The logic behind clear, simple communication
- Marketing stories to the media

Fearless features unique stories of young achievers, including the youngest American to climb Mount Everest (as well as the tallest summits of each continent), the leader of the most successful student-led political campaign in history, the World Teen Magician of 2007, the 2005 IT Youth of the Year, a young author and investment expert, and other entrepreneurs age 20 and under.

In the process of writing the book, Matt had the opportunity to interview leadership giants in the worlds of business, sports, arts and entertainment, politics, and education. Among them are billionaire entrepreneurs and CEOs; the President of the World Trade Center; an Olympic champion; politicians from the White House, Congress, and the Pentagon; a U.S. Naval Commander who captained submarines during the Cold War; the award-winning float designer for the Pasadena Rose Parade and Disney's Parade of Dreams--and many others. Here they share their stories and success secrets.

“Great book, excellent advice! As someone who has met Matt and seen his leadership at Stanford University, there is no one better to learn from about the subject. Matt is an excellent businessman and leader, and you will be surprised by the wisdom learned and shared by Matt at such a young age. The book is a great read for people of all ages, and you definitely want to buy this book!"
