Publisher's Synopsis

Brian Dickinson, famously known for having climbed down Mt. Everest, completely snow blind, is often asked how he managed the incredible feat. He has always attributed it to his faith, and his U.S. Navy Search and Rescue Training, which taught him how to remain calm in moments of chaos. For the first time, Brian takes an in-depth look at the training that saved his life and the missions, both his and others', where these skills were put to the test to save other people.

Over two decades after being honorably discharged from the Navy, Brian is compelled to share his unique military training and experiences. He believes that sharing the training that he received to overcome adversity in the most extreme scenarios can help others to overcome their own personal Everest. Even beyond mountaineering, the military training has rewired Brian's ability to navigate difficult business, financial, health and relationship challenges. With the chaos of the world continuing to expand, stories from a U.S. Navy rescue swimmer will provide a fresh perspective on what it takes to survive some of the most dangerous situations, and how that shapes the rest of a person's life.
