Description

43 countries. 9 broken bones. 0 regrets. Always push forward.

Since walking away from his comfortable life as a white-collar geologist, Simon Donato has travelled thousands of human-powered miles across the globe—from the frigid tundra of Iceland to the searing heat of the Sahara. In The Boundless Life, Donato shares the highs and lows of this journey—where you’re tested in the most primal of ways, where every mile gained is earned (and the odds are rarely in your favour) and where, sometimes, getting out alive is the definition of success. Race after race, adventure after adventure, the trappings of daily life are stripped away and you’re forced to refocus on what really matters: How do you find the right team? How do you overcome your fear of success? How can you dig deeper? Often, it comes down to one simple question: Do you stand still or move forward?
