Fortune Favours the Brave - 76 Short Lessons on Finding Strength in Vulnerability

Having suffered with depression and lost friends to suicide, Josh ran to raise money for the Samaritans and as he ran through the wind and rain, sometimes with crowds of supporters, sometimes alone, he often drew upon the memories of his darkest days to spur him on, knowing that there was always happier times ahead.

This is a collection of the powerful and inspiring lessons that enabled Josh to complete his challenge, including:
Don’t listen to the doubters
Do listen to the people you trust
There is no such thing as failure, only a lesson to be learned
Don’t wait for tomorrow as tomorrow is not promised
Don’t be a taker, be a giver
Test your limits, but know your limitations

This isn''t a book about running, it is about how to find light in the dark and rise from the ashes, find your own strength and achieve whatever you put your mind to.<>
