Great mix of stories, principles and humour

Great book all around. Adam does a tremendous job of blending, stories, principles and humour to keep the reader/listener engaged and coming back for more. This is how a required read for my clients and employees. Rob Friday

Honest Leadership

An honest leadership book written by someone who has been through the test multiple times in multiple ways.
The book is broken down very clearly which allows the lessons to be distilled an onboard daily much easier than similarly styled books on leadership and responsibility.
Adam has been very thoughtful and precise in how he presents his lessons and it makes for a very valuable tool!

Helpful and inspirational

This book is full of insights, inspiration and motivational stories. I highly recommend this for anyone who is ready to hold themselves to a high standard and make success happen.

Very Powerful and Motivating

Adam’s Kreek hit on so many topics from learning and even liking to fail, how to stay motivated and enjoy the grind, importance of sleep and diet, and much more. All while telling his fascinating and very entertaining life story. I will be reading and listening to this book multiple times to try and capture as much of Kreek’s wisdom as possible.

Deserves to be a bestseller!

If you enjoyed Stephen Covey's 7 Habits, Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning, and Andre Agassi's Open, I'm guessing you'll love this book. It is a great read for anyone looking to improve themselves. The author stands out from personal development authors by being simultaneously credible, practical, profound, and fun!

He establishes credibility by showing us his character though stories of his personal challenges to accomplish incredible things including winning an Olympic gold medal with the Canadian crew team, and attempting to row across the Atlantic Ocean! His competence comes through in his references to academic research scattered throughout. The book is practical in that it's easy to find topics of interest, and he provides lists of action items to do at the end of each chapter. It's profound in that he tells the gripping story of his near-death experience of being inside the upside-down water-filled cabin of their human-powered boat after it had capsized. He wisely emphasizes a perspective acknowledging our own mortality when seeking meaning and purpose. Specifically, I appreciate his discussion of safety. Not least of all, he's funny and engaging! I enjoyed listening to him read the audiobook, especially since he does voices of the people he quotes.

Great manual for reaching your peak.

A must read for anyone in trying to better themselves as well as the teams they are a part of. The book bounces back and forth between strategies for growth and first hand accounts of Adam exemplifying those insights through his own rights of passage as a gold winning Olympic athlete, entrepreneur, and father. While on the outside the target audience might seem to be people in corporate leadership roles as Adam presents certain methods in ways that are easy to present at the next board meeting, the deeper truths contained within speak to anyone trying to improve their ability to set and achieve goals. Adam uses contemporary studies along with Western and Eastern philosophy to craft a roadmap for success and shows where those insights helped him reach his peak.

Great Audiobook would benefit from a PDF

The content Adam presents is fantastic. It would be nice to have a PDF included to reference the content in the future since it's an audiobook.

Excellent Narration

I came away from this book with lots of actionable takeaways. Adam has lived a rather interesting life and has a lot to offer. His narration is excellent and keeps the listener engaged. Highly recommend!!

Great read!

Listened to the audio book too and from work everyday. I enjoyed this book, very insightful and a pleasure to listen too.

A must listen!

After watching Adam's ted talk, I discovered that he had released this book and I love it!
