Bøger af Graham Little

Do you seek to better understand you? To answer the 'big' questions: How do we work? Why are we here? What is the purpose of life? Can we improve our experience of life? How? The Science of Mental Health is the first scientific description of what it is to be human. It is derived from the only scientific general theory of psychology ever developed that meets all intellectual quality standards. The scientific position is called the spiritual model of humanity, and is shown in this book to be the correct science of people. Final adoption of the spiritual model of humanity by humanity changes almost everything placing humanity on the path to a better future. Read, decide for yourself.

It had long ago ceased to be a giddy adventure. It was all mulchy bog, heather and rocks. And tired, aching legs. And then Ty said something that really struck a chord. It s a Man Test now, lads. Just finish it. I got it immediately. Finishing the race was no longer about being fit, or a good runner, or map-reading, it was about putting up with wind, rain, pain and misery. It was about traditional pig-headed masculine obstinacy and never letting reason get in the way of your objectives. In short, it was about being a man. Cold, exhausted, sore and hopelessly lost on the side of a Welsh mountain, Graham Little had an unlikely epiphany. Finishing the Peaks Race that he and his friend had naively signed themselves up for wasn t about being the fittest or strongest or best runner. It was, in fact, about being stubborn and refusing to give in, no matter what. After all, conquering the terrain and beating the elements was incredibly exhilarating.This is the funny and insightful story of Graham Little s obsession with endurance sports. Graham went on to compete in some of the world s toughest challenges, including completing an Ironman, running the famous Marathon des Sables in the desert and swimming from Europe to Asia all while trying (and usually failing) to fit in training around family and domestic duties. Along the way Graham meets people who are just as obsessed and tries to work out what it is about modern life that drives us to take on extreme challenges, no matter how difficult, unpleasant or even dangerous they may be.
