'What I've learned from climbing mountains is that we can push ourselves far beyond what we think we are capable of, and it's outside of our comfort zones that the most amazing things happen.'
What drives us to go to our limits and beyond? What does it take to make dreams come true over all else? And how can you turn fear into courage? From Everest to K2, this is the story of Bonita Norris' journey undertaking the world's toughest and most dangerous expeditions. Once an anxious teenager with an eating disorder, it was the discovery of a passion for climbing that inspired Bonita to change her life.
Drawing on her experiences to capture the agonies - both mental and physical - and joys of her incredible feats, Bonita also imparts the lessons learned, encouraging you to harness greater self-belief. This is an honest exploration of everything she has learnt from climbing: life lessons about ambition, values, risk, happiness, the courage to fail, and what's ultimately important.
An indispensable and important book for anyone who has ever doubted their potential or put limits on themselves - whatever challenge you face or ambitions you want to achieve, this inspiring story will help you take action and live life more fearlessly.
