About the Author
Burx Norrod grew up in Salisbury, Rhodesia (now Harare, Zimbabwe), and later moved with his family to Maui following the Rhodesian Bush War. Inspired by his father—a U.S. Marine and former member of the Rhodesian SAS—Burx joined the United States Marine Corps, traveling extensively across the U.S. and Asia.
After his military service, he built a career in sales and mortgage lending, ultimately becoming one of the nation’s top-producing mortgage brokers. Along the way, he developed a passion for writing and has since compiled multiple books focused on personal growth, symbolism, and self-mastery.
Burx joined Freemasonry in 2012, where he immersed himself in esoteric education and ritual work, later becoming a 32° Scottish Rite Mason and Shriner, as well as a 3° member of the Ordo Templi Orientis.
Through his life experiences, he came to adopt the definition of fear as False Evidence Appearing Real—a principle that forms the foundation of Killing Fear.
He currently resides in Albuquerque, where he continues his work in mortgage lending, writing, and firearm instruction, while actively participating in shooting sports and traveling.

About Killing Fear
A Practical Guide to Overcoming Limits, Taking Risks,
& Creating a Life Without Regret
What if the greatest obstacle in your life isn’t the world around you—but the fear within you?
Killing Fear is a direct and practical guide to identifying the hidden fears that quietly hold people back from success, fulfillment, and personal growth. From fear of failure and rejection to fear of judgment, uncertainty, and even success itself, Burx Norrod breaks down the most common mental barriers that keep individuals stuck in place.
Drawing from real-life experience across the military, business, and personal development, this book strips fear down to its core—revealing it for what it often is: False Evidence Appearing Real. Rather than treating fear as something to avoid, Burx teaches readers how to confront it, understand it, and ultimately use it as a tool for growth.
Inside, you’ll learn how to:
Recognize the fears that are controlling your decisions
Reframe fear so it no longer limits your actions
Build confidence through disciplined action
Break through hesitation and take control of your path
This is not theory. It’s a straightforward approach to mastering the internal battles that determine external success.
Killing Fear is for anyone who knows they’re capable of more—but hasn’t yet taken the step forward.
