Dancing with the Fire, the free e-book

It's been 20 years since the publication of Dancing With the Fire (Bear & Co). Though the book has long been out of print, I still receive regular requests for copies. And though my own practice of firewalking has slowed to a once-or-twice a year event, many others continue to lead firewalks, initiating thousands of new firewalkers every year.

So I am now delighted to offer this pdf version of the book (and intend to make print-on-demand paperbacks available also). I did a full edit and am happy to say that I did not have to alter its theoretical foundations or any of the supporting science. Indeed, all that I've seen and experienced in twenty years of leading firewalks has confirmed the main contentions of this book:

• • that firewalking serves as a prime example of ordinary people behaving in extraordinary ways;
• • that the experience brings a host of lessons, especially in dealing successfully with fear;
• • and that conscientious practice of the ritual offers our world powerful support during these perilous times.

This e-book is also an experiment in new economics. It is free to download and your are free to use any portions of the book in any way you want, as long as you give credit to me and/or link to this website.
