Resumen del Editor

On September 2, 2013, at the age of 64, Diana Nyad emerged onto the sands of Key West after swimming 111 miles, nation to nation, Cuba to Florida, in an epic feat of both endurance and human will, in 53 hours. Diana carried three poignant messages on her way across this stretch of shark-infested waters, and she spoke them to the crowd in her moment of final triumph:

  1. Never, ever give up.
  2. You're never too old to chase your dreams.
  3. It looks like a solitary sport, but it's a team.

Millions of people around the world cheered this maverick on, moved by her undeniable tenacity to be the first to make the historic crossing without the aid of a shark cage. At the end of her magnificent journey, after 35 years and four crushing failures, the public found hope in Diana's perseverance. They were inspired by her mantra - find a way - that led her to realize a dream in her 60s that had eluded her as a young champion in peak form.

In Find a Way, Diana engages us with a unique, passionate story of this heroic adventure and the extraordinary life experiences that have served to carve her unwavering spirit.

Diana was a world champion in her 20s, setting the record for swimming around Manhattan Island along with other ocean-swim achievements, all of which rendered her a star at the time. Back then, she made the first attempt at the Mount Everest of swims, the Cuba Swim, but after 42 hours and 79 miles she was blown desperately off course. Her dream unfulfilled, she didn't swim another stroke for three decades.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Hearing [Nyad] tell her story in her own words adds another dimension to the endeavor, and the listener feels her single-minded dedication to her goal. Her description of the challenging circumstances she overcame early in her life is jarring, and makes her achievements even more impressive. Nyad also gives the listener glimpses of her mind while swimming by singing the songs that help her to maintain her stroke, counting in various languages, and yelping when stung by jellyfish."

Inspirational story

This is truly one of the best books I've ever read. It's a look into the heart and soul of a beautiful person who never gave up on her dreams and because of that has inspired me and many others to ask what is my dream and how can I live each day of my life "not a fingernail better". Thank you Diana Nyad for finding a way and for inspiring so many of us in the process.

Changed my life

I love Diana - her story has changed my life, and I often think of her when I need inspiration. I also loved how she told her story. She was really easy to listen to. If you're unsure, go listen to her Ted Talk "Find a Way." That's where I discovered and fell in love with her.

So cool.

What a life. What a story. How lucky are we that Diana shared her journey, in her voice, at her time.

Need motivation? This is your book!

I finished listening to Diana Nyad's book more than a week ago and am still thinking about it. Not only is the story epic, but it is made even more special because Diana is the reader. You can hear her pain, energy, and emotion while listening to her powerful story. I started listening to her book because I heard her interview on NPR and found her to be fascinating. I would listen while running before work and was sucked in so quickly I couldn't wait to hear the next piece of the story, and whenever I felt tired I couldn't help but push through thinking of Diana's determination to move onward! If you were ever a swimmer, this is definitely a must read.

Nothing less than amazing

I can think of absolutely nothing to say about the audio book. The performance of the narration was fabulous l especially love it when books are read by the author. The story keeps me engaged the whole way. Probably my favorite book off all time.
