Summary

In the realm of human endeavors, few challenges capture our imagination like ascending the world's highest peak, Mount Everest. This book takes you on an exhilarating journey to the summit of Everest, exploring the captivating stories of those who dared to conquer this formidable mountain.

Through the eyes of intrepid climbers, you'll witness the relentless pursuit of the human spirit against the backdrop of nature's grandest spectacle. From the first successful ascent in 1953 to the modern era of high-altitude mountaineering, you'll delve into the fascinating history of Everest expeditions, paying tribute to the pioneers who paved the way and honoring the sacrifices made in the pursuit of reaching the top of the world.

Everest stands as a symbol of human resilience, determination, and the unwavering desire to push the limits of what is possible. This book delves into the physical and psychological challenges that climbers face as they ascend the mountain. You'll examine the intricate web of factors that contribute to success or failure, including weather conditions, route selection, and the unpredictable nature of the mountain itself.

Beyond the physical challenges, Everest also presents a profound inner journey. Climbers must confront their fears, doubts, and vulnerabilities as they navigate the treacherous slopes and unpredictable conditions. You'll explore the mental and emotional toll that Everest takes on those who dare to challenge it, delving into the complex interplay between risk, reward, and the indomitable human spirit.

Everest is not just a mountain; it is a mirror that reflects our own aspirations, our capacity for greatness, and the unyielding desire to conquer our own personal "Everests" in life. Through the stories of those who have triumphed over adversity on Everest, you'll gain inspiration and motivation to face your own challenges with renewed vigor and determination.

This book is more than just a chronicle of human achievement; it is an exploration of the human spirit, a celebration of human resilience, and a testament to the boundless capacity of human potential. As you journey to the summit of Everest alongside these courageous climbers, you'll discover the extraordinary depths of human endurance, the unwavering power of dreams, and the enduring allure of the world's highest peak.

    At the lowest point of her tennis career, Coco Gauff learned she didn’t need to be perfect to become a US Open champion. 
 
From the moment she picked up a tennis racquet, Coco Gauff was destined for greatness. Her parents believed so strongly in her future, they turned their lives upside down to make sure she had every opportunity to play the game she loved.  
 
One of the world’s most prominent coaches thought so highly of Coco’s talent, he brought her to train in France before she was even old enough for high school.  
 
And when she reached the fourth round at Wimbledon as a fifteen-year-old, she beat her idol Venus Williams in the first round, becoming an international sensation in the blink of an eye. 
 
But the road from teenage tennis prodigy to Grand Slam champion isn’t easy. As Coco started her journey on the Women’s Tennis Association Tour she found it difficult to deal with the expectations of becoming America’s next superstar. She also struggled to beat the top players in the game—number one ranked Iga Swiatek most of all. 
 
To break through and become a Grand Slam champion, Coco had to overcome disappointments, criticisms, and a loss of confidence in her game. This is the story of how perseverance, self-belief, and a willingness to try new things led to a historic run of success in the summer of 2023 that culminated with a US Open title.

    Drew Millard loves golf. As a kid, he enjoyed the game, but since college, his clubs had been gathering dust in his parents' basement. And then, a bout with depression led him back home to haul them out of the unfinished storage. 
 
 
 
It was what the doctor had ordered. In addition to medication and therapy, Drew needed to exercise. Exercise was not something he did. But golf? Sure, why not? As Drew fumbled his way through his first round in years, he discovered that sucking at golf was his new calling, one that helped him find a sense of balance and rhythm—both on the course and in his own mind. 
 
 
 
Drew's connection to the game inspired him to write this book, and his passion is infectious. Combining great storytelling with fascinating historical tidbits and moving personal insights, he writes about everything from how golf taught him to be a better listener, son, and friend, to how to slow down, appreciate what he has, and keep fighting the good fight. Along the way, he demystifies the customs, history, and rules of the game. 
 
 
 
Brimming with personality, accessibility, and a freewheeling spirit, How Golf Can Save Your Life is a celebration of the sport and an examination of all it offers.
