"Someone once said you can't eat scenery, and that's true, but beauty nourishes the soul."
Earlier this year I had the pleasure of listening to Lewis Gordon Pugh recount his epic story of his 1km swim across the Arctic Ocean in water temperature of -1.7°C to raise awareness of climate change. It was truly an inspiring hour. He speaks with such passion and enthusiasm which captivates you and has you sitting on the edge of your seat.
His autobiography, Achieving the Impossible, captures the same emotions and you’ll feel as if you are walking alongside this remarkable man as he retells his story. Pugh chronicles his life’s journey with the reader; sharing his passion and love of the environment with us and the ends he would go to protect it, pushing his mind and body to the limits.
As each chapter unfolds we learn about Pugh’s early childhood, growing up in South Africa, graduating as a maritime lawyer, becoming a member of the army’s elite corps SAS and his many exiting endurance swims. He shares with us how he recognised his passion and took risks to fulfil his dreams, where he found his inspiration and the bonds of friendships he formed during his journeys.
By sharing his secret of how one can achieve the impossible, this memoir of adventure will inspire you to channel your energy to achieving your goals.
