Description

The Art of Resilience by Ross Edgley is a compelling exploration into the depths of human perseverance and mental toughness. This groundbreaking book delves into Edgley's astonishing feats of endurance, including his historic achievement as the first person to swim around the entire coastline of Great Britain, a journey that spanned 1,780 miles over 157 grueling days. Edgley's narrative is more than just a recounting of his physical triumphs; it is a profound examination of the psychological and philosophical principles that underlie true resilience. Drawing on his personal experiences, Ross discusses the importance of mental fortitude, stoicism, and rigorous training in cultivating an unbreakable spirit. "Incredible individual, incredible book, incredible story." – Chris Hemsworth

"From reading this book, the message that comes shining through is this: you can achieve anything." – Ant Middleton
Bestselling author and award-winning adventurer Ross Edgley has meticulously studied the concept of resilience, applying his knowledge to achieve remarkable world records. From running a marathon while pulling a 1.4-tonne car to climbing a rope equivalent to the height of Mount Everest (8,848 meters), Ross has continually pushed the boundaries of human potential. His experiences include living with Yamabushi warrior monks in Japan and participating in shamanic pain rituals with fire ants in the Amazon jungle. In The Art of Resilience, Edgley shares insights gleaned from his epic swim around Great Britain, where he swam through obstacles such as giant jellyfish, arctic storms, 'haunted' whirlpools, and polluted shipping lanes. His journey was so intense that his tongue physically deteriorated from the seawater's harsh conditions. These stories are not just tests of physical endurance but also case studies in overcoming psychological challenges. Building on the success of his previous bestseller, The World's Fittest Book, Edgley now turns his focus to the science of mental and physical endurance. He explores the performance strategies of extreme athletes, military personnel, and fitness specialists, alongside psychological principles that empower individuals to conquer adversity. The Art of Resilience is a paradigm-shifting work that redefines our understanding of the human body's and mind's capabilities. This inspiring book provides a blueprint for developing a tougher, more resilient character, equipping readers with the tools to tackle any challenge they may encounter. Whether you're an athlete, a professional, or someone facing personal trials, Edgley's insights will inspire you to reach new heights of resilience and personal excellence.
