Continuing our celebration of International Book Month, today’s episode draws from A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin, the series that inspired the global sensation Game of Thrones. International Book Month encourages us to explore not only contemporary and classic literature but also the epic tales that captivate our imaginations. This month is a time to celebrate the broad spectrum of storytelling, from fantasy to realism, and reflect on the universal themes that bind us all.

George R.R. Martin, born in 1948, is a master of high fantasy, known for creating complex characters and moral dilemmas. His A Song of Ice and Fire series weaves together themes of power, honor, and survival in a world filled with both political intrigue and existential danger.

In this episode, we discuss the concept of bravery, particularly in moments when fear is unavoidable. The story emphasizes that true courage often comes not in the absence of fear but in acting despite it. This episode invites listeners to reflect on the many forms of bravery—whether it’s standing up for what’s right, facing personal challenges, or simply persevering through difficult times. By recognizing the bravery in their everyday lives, listeners can learn to face fear with greater strength and confidence.
