Synopsis:

This is a book about achievers, by achievers, for achievers! The Adventure Attitude described in its pages is essential in every field of endeavour as we struggle to climb the "mountain" of change in our own lives. Now you can learn from some of the world's most inspiring people. By applying the Adventure Attitude, you will climb to your own summit of success.

About the Author: Mt. Everest Climber, Summiteer, and cancer survivor, Alan Hobson, is fast developing into one of North America's most inspirational figures. A former journalist, winner of the prestigious William Randolph Hearst Award for Excellence in News Writing, and the author of six books on adventure and achievement, he touches audiences worldwide with his riveting speaking presentations about life, death, tenacity and triumph. Drawing on his past experiences as a former nine-time "All-American" gymnast, veteran of three expeditions to Mt. Everest, as well as the recent challenge of a massive medical mountain he calls his own "Inner Everest," Alan builds bridges between Everest, life-threatening illness and the Everests we all face every day. He has appeared on many national television talk shows, including The Oprah Winfrey Show.

In his lifetime, Alan has been a marathon runner, hang glider pitor, white water kayaker, white water rafter, ice climber, rock climber, parachutist, luger and bobsleigh participant. His latest passions are mountain biking and scuba diving. But his greatest achievement to date, he asserts, is surviving leukemia (cancer of the blood). His overriding message is simple: "We CAN overcome, we WILL overcome." In fact, CAN/WILL (tm) has become his trademark. "My life mission is to inspire others to go after their dreams," he says, "and in so doing, touch the boundlessness of their true potential." Alan is a full-time professional speaker who makes between 40 and 60 presentations a year worldwide.

Alan is happily married to his business partner, Cecilia. They live in Canmore, Alberta, Canada, in their favourite playground, the majestic Canadian Rocky Mountains, just east of Banff, Alberta.
