The adversity advantage : turning everyday struggles into everyday greatness by Erik Weihenmayer

"Lloyd Jamess soft, assured voice makes any challenge seem possible. The authors highlight the way adversity can be harnessed as a force to strengthen ones character and build on ones achievements. Using the seven tallest mountains of the world to illustrate their seven guiding principles, they offer some compelling exercises for self-actualization. James reads with an easy confidence that makes the work accessible in spite of the overuse of the mountain metaphor." - Editorial Reviews
