What if your biggest risk in life is playing it safe?

In Never Play It Safe, bestselling author, award-winning photographer, and founder of CreativeLive, Chase Jarvis, reveals that safety is an illusion—a comforting lie that’s holding you back from true fulfillment and extraordinary success.

Discover the Bold Path to Your Most Authentic Life

Chase Jarvis has spent years in deep conversation with the world’s top entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, and performers, uncovering the real secrets to living boldly and authentically. Through these powerful insights and his own transformative experiences, he invites you to shatter the dangerous comfort of the safe path and unlock your full potential.

Inside, you'll discover:

• Why ""playing it safe"" is the riskiest move you can make • How to break free from the toxic voices in your head holding you back • The hidden ""attention hijackers"" silently sabotaging your dreams • The surprising link between playfulness and peak performance in any field • Practical techniques to train your attention and unlock your potential • Real-life stories of world-class performers who dared to live boldly

Are You Ready to Break Free?

If you’re tired of playing small, feeling stuck, or living in fear, it’s time to reclaim the playful, courageous part of yourself that’s been waiting to shine. Never Play It Safe will equip you with the tools, insights, and inspiration to take bold action and create the life of your dreams.

Your Life is the Ultimate Creative Act—Don’t Settle for Safety.
