    In 2024, former Royal Marine Mitchell Hutchcraft attempted what no human had ever dared: a 12,000km triathlon from the UK to the top of the world. 
    He swam the English Channel. He cycled solo across Europe. He ran through India. Then he climbed Everest – standing 29,032 feet above where his journey began. Some people spend their entire lives in pursuit of just one of these goals. Mitch did it all in just 240 days. 
    Limitless is the gripping account of that record-breaking expedition. But this isn’t just another adventure story – it’s a raw and unflinching account of what drives us to the edge and what we discover when we get there. Mitch confronts his grief, battles his own mind, and reveals the cost of chasing a dream that terrifies him. 
    This book will change how you see your own limits. 
    Drawing from extreme endurance and his military experience, Mitch delivers practical tools and mindset shifts that work in the real world. Whether you're facing a career crossroads, a personal crisis, or simply know you're capable of more – Limitless will help you meet yourself where you are, challenge the boundaries you've been told to accept, and unlock the extraordinary potential you didn't know you had.

    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.
