About this listen

In early 2017, Paul Watkins, a nerdy, bespectacled, father of two from a country town, took on one of the toughest races on the planet, the 6633 Arctic Ultra—a 583-kilometre unsupported solo race deep into the Arctic Circle. Four days in—frozen, hallucinating, broken, and bewildered—Paul withdrew from the race, barely halfway to the finish line.

Two years later Paul returned to the Arctic. To face some demons and resolve unfinished business. Beyond the story of how this grueling race unfolded—of pushing virtually nonstop for eight days in temperatures of -40c under the magnificent northern lights—this book details the lessons learnt along the way. How we deal with "failure", why motivation doesn’t equal discipline, and how we let society undervalue us.

Come on a wild adventure and discover how to find your own.
