The Adversity Advantage: Turning Everyday Struggles into Everyday Greatness

This is a super awesome message from a guy that went through so much adversity, and yet was able to accomplish more than anyone I've ever heard about... ever. I think this is one of those books that's good to read at night before you go to sleep. Because when you wake up and face your life challenges, they will most likely look miniscule in comparison to what you just read about.

Not a bad book to have if you want to read another person's perspective on adversity besides the father of adversity quotient, Dr. P. G. Stolz.

This is an amazing book. I was fortunate enough to meet the author, and down to eath serious hero who inspires me daily. This is worth reading for just about anyone! (Adult-Teen)

Next to the Bible, Adversity Advantage is the best personal improvement book I have ever worked through. Erik & Paul have put together an excellent way to examine where you are in life and where you want to go...and how to get there.Higly recommend it!

While I really loved "Touch the Top of the World," this book is too much of a self-help book for me.

So far, so good! I'm excited to learn new tools from this book to fuel adversity for the positive!

grandaughter loved the book

as expected

First off - this is credited on this site to Stephen R. Covey. That annoys me intensely. It wasn't written by him. All he did was write a foreword which pales into absolute insignificance compared to what the two authors underwent which is alluded to in this book. Eric is the first person to climb Everest blind. Blind! Added to this he inspired an entire team to follow and support him through nothing more than his belief that he could do it. It was a mutual support endeavour which has and should inspire others to over come their perceived adversity. The guys were indomitable in the face of the Death Zone (anywhere 8,000 meters above sea level where the body cannot get enough oxygen to survive). I cannot conceive of crossing the road with my eyes closed let alone climbing a mountain that has claimed hundreds of lives while not being able to see my next footfall. That's what I call trusting, and most of all, inspiring trust. This is a testimony to those who, in the face of adversity, just get the hell on with it anyway. I unreservedly admire them all.

Amazing read!

There are no words to describe how amazing this book is. A mix of practical exercises with stories and inspiration. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn how to thrive in adversity and who wants to have a whole new perspective of life and suffering well. It’s changed a part of me.

Great condition

for me
