About this Item

246 Pages. First edition. Signed by the author on the half title page. The dust jacket is not price-clipped. This is a book about Lance Armstrong, the mutiple winner of the Tour de France, his mindset having survived a diagnosis of cancer, his drive to enjoy every minute of his life and the debunking of the doping accusation. The book's dust jacket is in a fine condition and the interior book is also, thus there are no visible extraneous markings (other than the author's signature) or visible detriments or distractions throughout the book and the book's sewn-in bindings also remain tight and therefore would be sound. If you order this very interesting viewpoint of Lance's mindset and the challenges that he overcame from us, we will carefully wrap it up in either foam or bubble wrap, then pad and box it and post it right away to you with both insurance and tracking on it.

About this title

Synopsis

The four-time Tour de France winner and number 1 New York Times bestselling author returns with an inspirational account of his recent personal and professional victories—and some failures—and an intimate glimpse into how almost dying taught him to really live.

Since the release of his megabestseller, It’s Not About the Bike, Lance Armstrong has enjoyed a new series of thrilling rides, from the birth of his twin daughters, to an astounding succession of Tour de France triumphs, to being chosen as Sportsman of the Year by Sports Illustrated in 2002. Continuing the inspiring story begun in his first book, Every Second Counts captures the mind-set of a man who has beaten incredible odds and considers each day an opportunity for excellence.

Armstrong’s previous book recounted his journey from a grim diagnosis of testicular cancer, which had spread to his lungs and brain, to a stunning recovery that culminated in his winning the 1999 Tour de France—the ultimate evidence that he had also won a daunting battle with death.

His new book addresses the equally daunting challenge of living in the aftermath of this experience and making the most of every breath of life. Armstrong candidly discusses his prickly relationship with the French and the ultimately disproved accusations of doping within his Tour de France team, and he writes about his recent achievements, including celebrating five years of cancer survival and how he restored a magnificent chapel in his beloved Spain.

A fresh perspective on the spirit of survivors everywhere, Every Second Counts will invigorate and enthrall Armstrong’s millions of admirers.
