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.

Embrace the Lace by Shannon MacLeod

Posted
Paisley Evangeline Darling (Van for short) attends a renaissance festival in the US, but somehow ends up in a pond in Scotland and is rescued by Andrew MacIver. Not only has she travelled across the world, she's also travelled in time - back to the 17th century. Add in some more low level magic, a nasty uncle and women competing for Andrew's reluctant hand in marriage.  Highly entertaining story with some slow romance and Van getting stuck into her new life and improving operations at Andy's castle.  This book is available now!  PS. I am not really sure what inspired the title of this book. #EmbraceTheLace #NetGalley
