Invest One Day, Conquer Your Mind, and Unlock Your Best Life
1 of 1 copy available
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Impossible First, an inspiring blend of riveting adventure stories and life-changing wisdom that teaches us how to embark on a transformative one-day journey that will unlock our best lives.
Millions of people dream of living a more fulfilling life, yet many settle for a life of comfortable complacency, allowing excuses and negative thoughts to invade their minds. I don't have enough time...I don't have enough money...I'm afraid to fail...I don't have what it takes—we allow these limiting beliefs to control us.
Now, The 12-Hour Walk provides the inspiration—and catalyst—for getting unstuck and realizing your full potential. Featuring life lessons from explorer, endurance athlete, and entrepreneur Colin O'Brady—whose adventures in such extreme places as Antarctica and the perilous Drake Passage and on the peaks of Mount Everest and K2 have seen him establish ten world records—this book's vivid narrative and powerful insight will show you how you can embark on your own life-changing journey.
With Colin as your guide, The 12-Hour Walk asks you to invest one day in yourself. By walking alone, unplugging, listening to the voice within, and rewriting the limiting beliefs etched into your psyche, you can break free of the patterns holding you back and learn how to cultivate a "Possible Mindset"—an empowered way of thinking that unlocks a life of limitless possibilities. The reward: being the hero of your own destiny.

Adventurer and motivational speaker O'Brady (The Impossible First, 2020) offers an intriguing method for climbing your Everest. Feeling lackluster and unmotivated during the pandemic, O'Brady walked out his door and didn't return for 12 hours. Unplugged from modern distractions, he discovered the walk was a great way to "conquer your mind, and unlock your best life" in one day. It is an achievable goal with immediate outcomes that he is determined to help other people complete. O'Brady starts each chapter with a limiting belief such as "what if I fail" or "I don't have enough time/money" and then uses a personal story to demonstrate how to overcome that belief. Each chapter ends by explaining how the lessons gleaned apply to the walk, along with a QR code linking to online content and a positive mantra. O'Brady's extreme expeditions are inspiring; he's climbed Everest twice and holds several world records. He writes about most of them in The 12 Hour Walk, making this book not only appealing to self-help readers but also a gripping read for adrenaline junkies and armchair travelers.COPYRIGHT(2022) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
