About this listen

 An SBS Gurkha soldier's account of how his tough Nepali upbringing and the lessons learned in his army life enabled his record-breaking conquest of all 14 of the world's 8,000m peaks in under 7 months.

What happens when ambition meets limitless imagination?

Enter Project Possible: a seemingly unreachable goal to climb all fourteen "death zone" mountains in record time. The previous record was seven years, ten months and six days.

I did it in six months.

This is the inside story of my incredible adventure. As a kid in Nepal, barefoot in the mountains, I developed the resilience I needed to later join the Gurkhas, one of the most fearless forces in the British Army. Then in the Special Boat Service I served in some of the world's most dangerous warzones.

But my next challenge was even more of a test.

In Beyond Possible I'll reveal how I conquered the world's most dangerous peaks, breaking several world records in the process. With my elite training, I was able to adapt quickly to the lethal conditions, rarely phased by the lung-burning temperatures or brutal winds. Fear became irrelevant because I had belief.

In the death zone, I came alive. But even after facing countless challenges, right at the peak of my achievements, my world fell apart when my mother was hospitalized.

But I survived and ultimately conquered the most deadly and hostile mountains on the planet. Beyond Possible is my story.

The Beyond Possible mindset that Nims takes you through is an infectious mindset.
This book is a mindblowing read. It opens with
"Your extremes are my normality" and it is breathtaking at what his achievements are but also how his application of a positive mental attitude helps to overcome obstacles and in doing so achieves his goals.
This book is so good I had to buy the paperback as It is one to return to again and again.

Nims positivity is an infectious mindset
