EVEREST: Being Unstoppable by Sean Swarner

Posted

I’m going to do my best to overcome this crappy situation. Some things may be out of my control, but I’m going to do my best to control what I can… my thoughts!

Title: EVEREST: Being Unstoppable (Book One of the 7 Summits to Success Series)

Author: Sean Swarner

Inspirational self-help book written by adventurer and cancer survivor Seam Swarner, with practical steps outlined by Lance Snow. 

I read this book after having taken part in one of Swarmer's online talks and Q&A sessions and I really enjoyed finding out more about his journey; and how he already early on in life had the mindset of keeping going and always looking for the positives. 

Parts I and II

Parts I and II of the book are Swarner's story of his early childhood through to reaching the top of Mount Everest. The book starts with the following quote by Swarner;

“We should not worry about dying. We should worry about not living a life that matters.”  

Swarner tells a truly inspirational and uplifting story; even when faced with cancer TWICE!, he managed to create hope and positivity by harnessing the power of his mind. 

"My past had already been written. The path that had brought me to where I was now could not be changed. But my future was mine to control. I had the power to decide how I wanted it to be, and with the right choices, I could have whatever life I wished to live. I could find happiness. I could find my purpose."

Part III

In Part III Snow takes us through how we can start our own success journey by using examples from Swarner's experience. He provides a set of clear steps to take to define our own dreams; include lots of details, set a specific due date, and state what the dream means to yourself and others.

Road Queens by MaryJanice Davidson

I downloaded this book from Netgalley back in August and read about 15% of it before I gave up and jumped onto another book. Since then I have read another 20+ books without coming back to finish this one off. I may come back to it at some point, but most likely not as there are so many other books out there.  Please see below the blurb from the publishers: "From the bestselling author of the Undead series comes a ride through the lives of three estranged friends as they’re reunited by murder (possible frame job) and mayhem (just the way they like it). Operation Starfish has one goal: to remove domestic violence survivors from danger. But when a mission backfires in tragedy, the band of bikers who founded OpStar dissolves the organization and their ride-or-die friendship. Five years later Amanda, Sidney, and Cassandra are brought back together by the same thing that tore them apart when the man who victimized his wife is murdered, and all signs point to Cassandra.
