"Ultimate Freedom explores a collection of stories, quotes and themes from antiquity to modernity that boil down to form a concise and collective model of positive behaviour change through personal responsibility. Robert Kilsby has curated wisdom he has collected from an extraordinary life (special forces, race car driver, adventurer) and made it available to the everyday person who is looking for a compass and map to being in charge of oneself, easier said than done. As a sport and performance psychologist, dedicated to relieving human suffering and helping people reach their potential, I endorse this read on the coffee table of personal growth."
"In typical Robert Kilsby style, here we have a manifesto for living life. The prologue is most important as it gives the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of Robert’s intense life from SASR combat veteran to racing car driver. There are those among us who will find this ‘handbook’ of great use in dealing with the vicissitudes of life with which many of us are confronted. ‘Who Dares Wins’."
“Grounded in the discipline of an SAS soldier, Robert Kilsby writes with authority and heart. His Five Principles are a compass for navigating storms and building meaning. Ultimate Freedom – The Five Fundamental Principles of Being In Charge of Yourself is both a challenge and a gift.”
“Robert’s book, Ultimate freedom – The Five Fundamental Principles of Being In Charge of Yourself is a very good read based on experience gained in harsh and severe environments, and that is the difference to so many ‘self-help’ editions that appear on our book shop shelves. It is indeed an inspirational piece of writing based on experiential knowledge and then tested in the critical worlds of the military and high-end business, where failure to understand yourself leads to chaos”
