Fortune Favours the Brave: 76 Short Lessons on Finding Strength in Vulnerability Joshua Patterson

When Josh set out to break the world record and run 76 marathons in 76 days he knew he needed to be determined and strong, but he hadn't realised that his past struggles would provide the real strength he needed to cross the finish line. 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 doubtersDo listen to the people you trustThere is no such thing as failure, only a lesson to be learnedDon't wait for tomorrow as tomorrow is not promisedDon't be a taker, be a giverTest your limits, but know your limitationsThis 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.
