A powerful and thought provoking book, this book would benefit anyone interested in self growth. The author illustrates difficult concepts such as instinct and confidence with engaging accounts of his mountain climbs and then follows with the lesson applied in daily life. The life threatening consequences of climbing serves as a perfect laboratory in which to observe human behavior as climbing strips away the non essentials when ones focus is survival. And yet the book is entertaining and inspiring so that I didn't want to put it down. Having read over 30 self growth books and close to 100 mountaineering books, I highly recommend this book. This book enables the reader to learn from these experiences and apply the lessons to their own challenges either on the mountain or in every day life.

Author Gary Scott shares some of his incredible stories and lessons learned from years of rock and mountain climbing and masterfully translate those lessons into simple steps anyone can use to achieve their goals and/or overcome obstacles in their everyday life. This was definitely a book I did not want to put down. I was excited to graduate to the next lesson, and at the same time sitting on the edge of my seat waiting to see how Gary's story on Everest concludes. Read this book and see what I mean. You don't have to be a climber or adventure seeker to enjoy and benefit from this wonderful read.

You will not want to put this book down, and though a short read, you'll want to read it over and over.
