Resumen del Editor

Best-selling author and award-winning adventurer Ross Edgley has been studying the art of resilience for years, applying all he has learned to become the first person in history to swim all the way round Great Britain, breaking multiple world records along the way. Now, Ross turns his attention to mental strength and Stoicism.

Ross Edgley famously ran a marathon pulling a 1.4-tonne car and climbed a rope the height of Everest (8,848 m), after living with Yamabushi warrior monks in Japan and partaking in Shamanic pain rituals with fire ants in the Amazon jungle. On his epic 1,780-mile journey around Great Britain, which lasted 157 days, Ross swam through giant jellyfish, arctic storms, ‘haunted’ whirlpools and polluted shipping lanes, going so hard, and so fast, his tongue fell apart.

Ross’ previous book, The World’s Fittest Book, was a Sunday Times number one best seller and explored the science of physical fitness. Now, in The Art of Resilience, Ross uses his swim experience and other amazing endurance feats, where he managed to overcome seemingly insurmountable pain, hardship and adversity, to study the performance of extreme athletes, military and fitness specialists and psychologists to uncover the secrets of mental fitness and explore the concept of resilience, persistence, valour and a disciplined mind-set in overcoming adversity. This groundbreaking work represents a paradigm shift in what we thought the human body and mind were capable of and will give you a blueprint to become a tougher, more resilient and ultimately better human - whatever the challenge you face.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Incredible individual, incredible book, incredible story." (Chris Hemsworth)

"A hero who is as humble as he is resilient...testament to a 'never give up' spirit!" (Bear Grylls)

"From reading this book, the message that comes shining through is this: you can achieve anything." (Ant Middleton)

Great motivation!

It was good motivation while training for my first marathon. Ross did an excellent job in this book.

A journey for the ages

This was an excellent book l, that was well narrated by Ross regarding his own story. Research and explanations are used throughout to provide a scientific basis of decisions that were made on the adventure. All the other bits of fun and adventure are added in too. I have listened to podcasts he has done and his other book and this is by far the best book. Sometimes the basic explanations of physical activity science are tedious if you understand these too a higher level. But all round a very good book.

a great read and a great mission.

I truly enjoyed this book and its story, and throughout the time listening to it, I also implemented a lot of the actions and practices Ross used into my own training. Needless to say I am now on a mission to find my challenge. God Bless Ross Edgely.

Remarkable journey through Ross was impeccably written, spoken, and most importantly lived. I personally was inspired by the experience he faced and overcame through the lessons taught in an intangible way. Best Book read of 2020!!!

the art of resilience

fantastic book and story, wonderfully narrated by Ross.i
I've been a fun of Ross for a few years now and hopefully he will continue to do what he does best

5 Stars Isn’t Enough!

I got so much more out of this book than I anticipated.
It was a great story that kept me engaged from start to finish, but I learned more than I thought I would on mindset, training, nutrition, stoic philosophy, and so much more, all leading to the art of resilience. This book is worth the read and has made it on to my yearly reading list so I don’t forget the invaluable principles learned from this book.

Loved it but

Loved the book but equally disappointed to find out the pdf that comes with it don’t exist?
Why? Even states it in the info..
