Booklist Review

Adventurer and motivational speaker O'Brady (The Impossible First, 2020) offers an intriguing method for climbing your Everest. Feeling lackluster and unmotivated during the pandemic, O'Brady walked out his door and didn't return for 12 hours. Unplugged from modern distractions, he discovered the walk was a great way to "conquer your mind, and unlock your best life" in one day. It is an achievable goal with immediate outcomes that he is determined to help other people complete. O'Brady starts each chapter with a limiting belief such as "what if I fail" or "I don't have enough time/money" and then uses a personal story to demonstrate how to overcome that belief. Each chapter ends by explaining how the lessons gleaned apply to the walk, along with a QR code linking to online content and a positive mantra. O'Brady's extreme expeditions are inspiring; he's climbed Everest twice and holds several world records. He writes about most of them in The 12 Hour Walk, making this book not only appealing to self-help readers but also a gripping read for adrenaline junkies and armchair travelers.
