'Whether or not you are a lover of the mountains, you will marvel at his tenacity, his fearlessness. No one can fail to be inspired by what he achieved.' - The Times
Fourteen mountains on Earth tower over 8,000 metres above sea level, an altitude where the brain and body withers and dies. Until recently, the world record for climbing them all stood at nearly eight years. So I announced I was summiting them in under seven months . . .
People laughed. They told me I was crazy, even though I'd sharpened my climbing skills on the brutal Himalayan peaks of Everest and Dhaulagiri. But I possessed more than enough belief, strength and resilience to nail the job, having taken down enemy gunmen and terrorist bomb makers while serving with the Gurkhas and the UK Special Forces.
I wanted to show the world a new truth: that with bravery and enough heart and drive, the impossible is possible.

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
