THE TRIUMPH OF TENACITY
What It Takes to Get to the Top
(formerly titled, The Power of Passion)

If you are looking for a riveting inspirational read, this international bestseller packs a wallop. It is actually two books in one – the true story of two gripping Everest expeditions as told by two authors with two distinctly different points of view. The result is a fascinating glimpse into the power of perspective and the triumph in teamwork. Alan and co-author and fellow adventurer, Jamie Clarke, tell the tale of how they survived two grueling Everest expeditions together. What makes the book a winner is not just their spellbinding experiences, but the immediate applicability of the lessons learned to life. The brutally honest dialogue between the two men brings this book alive and makes The Triumph of Tenacity more than just a mountaineering tale, but a motivational masterpiece. If you are serious about success, seize it.
