11 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
The word adventure is deeply entrenched in the soul of man. Nations have been built, wars have been won, and discoveries have been made all in its name. The great challenge of the modern age is the Seven Summits, scaling the highest peak on all seven continents, but The Eighth Summit is about inspiring the human spirit. In his memoir, Peter van Kets takes readers on three of his greatest expeditionsincredible, unsupported adventures across the Atlantic in rowing boats and across the icy high plateau of Antarctica on foot and sledwith the goal of lifting their spirits and motivating them in whatever they do. As a passionate speaker and conservationist, Peter does all he can to inspire people and change their lives, and he has addressed thousands of people since being awarded the SA OutThere Adventurer of the Year in 2011. Typical topics of discussion are vision, planning, teamwork, strategy, conflict management, working in a dynamic environment, self-discipline, and perseverance.The Eighth Summit is his story.

Texreader I remember telling one of my first bosses that something was impossible, and she sure set me straight along these lines. It was such an important lesson for me to learn young and I‘ve lived by it. Excellent quote. 7y

This is my Feb non-fiction read and a re-read as well!
I will read this book every year for as long as I have breath. Peter van Kets was a keynote speaker at a roadshow in 2013 and his talk changed my life! It is double awesome as he is local as well - if he can do this, what can I do? Also awesome leadership guide!
And keeping me company...the toddler I am still baby sitting.😎😍🐶 #dogsoflitsy #nonfiction #leadership
