Well Worth The Listen!

The advice and insight in this book is applicable to a lot more than just extreme mountaineering. Great lessons on mindfulness, determination, and risk taking. It was so interesting to learn facts about Everest and other peaks around the world. I loved the parallel between pushing your body and mind to accomplish amazing feats, and using that persistence in one’s personal and/or professional life. Great read!

Tremendous resource to be placed alongside Grit and Mindset

Peak Persistence is a book written from the successful mountain climbing author’s unique perspective on the attributes that build success, and in particular, persistence. David Snow does a masterful job weaving his personal and harrowing mountain climbing stories and lessons in with smart and practical keys to help any individual or business succeed.
I learned a lot from this book and it will have a permanent spot in my library. Highly recommended!

Inspiring. Worth a second read/listen!

Truly enjoyed listening to the audiobook read by the author. It was like having one of your best friend’s telling you all about his mountain adventures and encouraging you to climb your own personal summits in life. After listening, I’m ready to strap on my proverbial crampons and take on the world.

So motivating!

I truly loved this book! Highly motivating and one I am sure I will listen to over and over.

Would listen again!

This book is full of inspiring stories and people, not just on the mountain. The author who has successfully summited all seven summits offers motivation and a push to anyone who wants to obtain or maintain a positive mindset while setting out to accomplish life’s goals. I loved this book!

Excellent and Inspiring Book

We absolutely loved this book! It was lots of fun listening to Dave’s enthusiasm and his passion was captivating. There were so many great stories. We loved the way he made it applicable to anyone achieving their goals if it’s climbing or not. You’ll love and be inspired by this book.

Very enjoyable read

The story was captivating and included some good life lessons along the way. Definitely would recommend this audio.

I’m not even a climber and I LOVED it!

Wow. I just finished it and I wish there were more! The stories were great and captivating. I love the topics covered about persistence and the way the stories tied in with each point. I especially loved the story about Jarrett. Don’t we all know a Jarrett in our lives?
This is one of those books EVERYONE should read. It’s inspiring, motivational and practical. It’s the perfect Father’s Day gift or that cool book your son or daughter would love to read (and every mom WANTS them to read). Only 2 swear words when quoting Jarrett.
David, your perseverance in life and on the mountain is truly remarkable and I love how you tied it into business strategies. My son and his friend listened to it and loved it too.

Worth the read/listen....highly recommend

Fantastic balance between genuine story telling and actionable teaching. Most of us have to live experiences like extreme mountaineering through the lens of someone else. David gives a perspective that few can from a normal guy doing extraordinary things. He then makes the connection for us to powerful concepts that will help us all reach our own peaks. Absolutely worth the read/listen for personal/professional development and enjoyment.

Experience of a lifetime!

This was a very well written book. I felt a wide range of emotions. It has stories of failure and success. It talks about beautiful mountains and the beauty of personal relationships. It is filled with research into a wide range of topics related to persistence. I will be reading this again and recommend it to anyone. This really is a great book.
