This book changed my life. I listened to the audiobook while I was doing some heavy yard work for a couple weeks in my backyard. There were times when I was 8-hours in and muscles I didn't know I had in my hands, back, and feet were aching and hurting unlike anything I've felt before. The streaks of clean skin formed by the sweat beading and trickling down my face had tried and slowly returned to the dusty grit from which it was carved. It was in these times I felt I was strong, I felt I was pushing my limits, I felt like I had conquered the earth. Then the passages of the book flooded my mind's eye with images of their struggle, conquest, and perseverance. Their endurance. It put my efforts into perspective.
