The Art of Resilience

Ross Edgley

‘Incredible individual, incredible book, incredible story.’ CHRIS HEMSWORTH 
‘A hero who is as humble as he is resilient… testament to a “never give up” spirit!’ BEAR GRYLLS 
‘From reading this book, the message that comes shining through is this: you can achieve anything.’ ANT MIDDLETON 
'Inspiring, especially if you're suffering with adversity, injury or setbacks.' CHRIS WILLIAMSON 
Bestselling author and award-winning adventurer Ross Edgley has been studying the art of resilience for years, applying all he has learned to become the first person in history to swim around Great Britain, breaking multiple world records. Now Ross focuses on mental strength, stoicism and the training needed to create an unbreakable body. 
Ross Edgley famously ran a marathon pulling a 1.4-tonne car and climbed a rope the height of Everest (8,848m), after living with Yamabushi warrior monks in Japan and partaking in Shamanic pain rituals with fire ants in the Amazon jungle. On his epic 1,780-mile journey around Great Britain, which lasted 157 days, Ross swam through giant jellyfish, arctic storms, ‘haunted’ whirlpools and polluted shipping lanes, going so hard, and so fast, his tongue fell apart. 
Ross’s previous book, The World’s Fittest Book, was a Sunday Times bestseller and explored the science of physical fitness. Now, in The Art of Resilience, Ross uses his swim experience and other amazing endurance feats, where he managed to overcome seemingly insurmountable pain, hardship and adversity, to study the performance of extreme athletes, military and fitness specialists and psychologists to uncover the secrets of mental fitness and explore the concept of resilience, persistence, valour and a disciplined mindset in overcoming adversity. This ground-breaking book represents a paradigm shift in what we thought the human body and mind were capable of and will give you a blueprint to become a tougher, more resilient and ultimately better human – whatever the challenge you face. 
Ross Edgley's The Art of Resilience is a compelling autobiography that explores his journey of personal growth and success. As a Sunday Times bestselling author, his experiences in sports and adventures, particularly swimming and diving, serve as a testament to his resilience. 
For fans of David Goggins (Never Finished), Michael Matthews (Thinner Leaner Stronger), Ryan Holiday (The Obstacle is the Way), Arnold Schwarzenegger (Be Useful), and Jocko Willink (The Code. the Evaluation. the Protocols).

How about you try realtraining?...

Martin Pfeifenberger

The playground of sport..

How does efficient, effective and sustainable training really work?
Especially in this day and age, when resilience and the immune system play a greater role than ever before, the contrasts on this topic could not be wider. There are countless "experts" who promise the moon. In no other area are there more of them - except perhaps in politics.

Are content and form out of balance?
Hopes, dreams and desires are processed for marketing purposes and spread like wildfire via social media channels.
Each training method is yet more effective and efficient than the previous one, while taking less time. Self-proclaimed "biohackers" and people who have reinvented physiology are making utopian promises.
It seems that human physiology has changed proportionally with the development of the internet, at least if you believe these promises.
Human physiology has evolved over millennia and will not change significantly in the next hundred years.
This book is not a training manual, it is intended to encourage reflection, questioning and scrutiny - whether in health sports, ambitious hobby sports or competitive sports.
What conditions should be created? What do the many terms buzzing around mean? How does it all really work?
These connections and backgrounds are explained both clearly and logically in this book - why one thing works and another can't work.
Understanding the "why" is one of the most important prerequisites for functional, effective and sustainable training.
Many achievements and medals are the product of a series of coincidences, which are not all that rare - which is why many training systems persist.

The knowledge about the application of biological measurement data for physical training has been around for almost half a century - only the knowledge about the correct application is still largely a mystery.

Flirting with Mermaids - The...

John Kretschmer

Over the course of twenty years of delivering sailboats to far-flung quaysides, John Kretschmer has had innumerable adventures, both humorous and terrifying. In Flirting with Mermaids, he recounts the most memorable of them. 
 
 
 
He crosses the Western Caribbean with a crew of eccentric Swedes researching ancient Mayan mariners, lands in Aden at the outbreak of civil war, and endures a North Atlantic crossing during which he discovers the existence of Force 13 winds. Approaching Japan at the end of a particularly trying delivery, he finds himself sailing in "a high impact debris zone," but his resolve is unshaken. "If a piece of rocketship jetsam fell out of the sky and sank [me] after encounters with Hurricane Floyd, General Noriega, a tsunami, an erupting volcano, and Typhoon Roy, then it was meant to be."
