The 12-Hour Walk Invest One Day, Conquer Your Mind, and Unlock Your Best Life

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Impossible First, a compelling blend of riveting adventure stories and hard-won wisdom that reveals how you can harness your inner strength, overcome your limiting beliefs, and embark on a transformative one-day journey that will unlock your best life.

Millions of people dream of living a more fulfilling life, yet many of us settle for a life of comfortable complacency and quiet desperation, allowing excuses and negative thoughts to invade our mindset. What if I fail?...I don’t have enough money…I don’t have what it takes—we allow these voices to run our lives.

Now comes The 12-Hour Walk, which provides the inspiration—and catalyst—for getting unstuck. Featuring the hard-earned life lessons of explorer and endurance athlete Colin O’Brady—whose adventures in such extreme places as Antarctica, the perilous Drake Passage, and the peaks of Everest and K2 have seen him establish ten world records—this book’s weave of vivid narrative and powerful insight will show readers how to embark on their own life-changing journey.

With Colin as our guide, The 12-Hour Walk asks us to invest one day in ourselves. The reward? Unlocking our best life and embracing our full potential. By walking alone, unplugging, listening to the voice within, and rewriting the limiting beliefs etched into our psyche, we can break free of the patterns that hold us back and, instead, cultivate a “Possible Mindset.” The goal is to become the hero of your own destiny.
