Beyond Possible

One Man, Fourteen Peaks, and the Mountaineering Achievement of a Lifetime

By: Nims Purja

Narrated by: Shridhar Solanki

Nepali climber Nims Purja is the first man ever to summit all 14 of the world's 8,000-meter "Death Zone" peaks. He did so in less than seven months, breaking the previous record of seven years.

In this spellbinding memoir, tied to the acclaimed Netflix documentary 14 Peaks, Purja reveals the man behind the climbs, explaining how his early life in Nepal and training as a soldier in Britain's elite Gurkha and SBS units allowed him to achieve a mountaineering mission few thought was attainable. Purja shows how leadership, integrity, and collaboration drive world's greatest climbing feats, including the first-ever winter ascent of Pakistan's K2 - another mountaineering milestone that he achieved in January 2021.

Both profound and inspiring, this intimate book reveals what it takes to go miles beyond the possible.

Freaking Amazing!

The naysayers are always the ones standing on the sidelines doing nothing. Shame on them for choosing to live small lives.

I love this accomplishment, the detail with which the story was told & the credit given to everyone supporting Project Possible on the mountain. While frail at times, the human body can achieve remarkable things. Way more than the mind believes. No fear living is what this story is all about. I highly recommend this book to anyone with a fascination for high altitude climbing.

Inspirational book.

Great book on how to overcome obstacles and never giving up. Feeling fear is okay, giving up is never an option.

Great Book!

I really enjoyed this book. It is a lot more detailed than the Netflix documentary

On of my all time favorite books.

This book discusses many of the different aspects that go into being a great leader, athlete, and person. Beyond possible completely changed the way I approach new obstacles both in sports and in life. I can not wait for more opportunities in my life to apply the thing I have learned form this book.

Breath taking

This is truly one of the most most amazing accounts of mountaineering of mountaineering I have ever read or even heard about. There are many life lessons included in the detailed accounts of climbing the world's 14 highest mountains. Highly recommend this book!
