Out of Mind (eBook, ePUB)

Everest Avalanche and a Barefoot Running Recovery

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In 2015, climber and documentary maker Joe French was about to fulfil a dream of a lifetime - to climb Everest and film it. Then tragedy struck and Joe found himself at the epicentre of an earthquake which killed nearly 9,000 people. Only a few years previously, his team of Sherpa had been killed in another avalanche, and soon after that, Julie, his wife, was diagnosed with cancer.The accumulation of trauma took its toll: suffering from post-traumatic stress, Joe was haunted by the horrors he'd witnessed. In an attempt to find a resolution, he turned to his love of the outdoors. Running barefoot through the forests and glens around his house in Scotland, Joe discovered the means to find a return to health and peace of mind.
