In 1988, Jim Hayhurst, a forty-seven year old ex-advertising executive, became the oldest member of the Canadian Expedition to Mount Everest. The Right Mountain is the riveting story of that climb. He tells you about the life-threatening experiences that affected each member of the team. He describes the critical choices that had to be made, and the lessons that were learned as a result. But it is much more than an adventure story. It is about defining success for yourself-- on your own terms-- in your personal life or in your career. The Right Mountain is inspirational. The story is dramatic. The metaphors compelling. And the messages it contains will stay with you long after the story is over.

Based on the author's riveting story of his climb up Mount Everest, The Right Mountain is much more than an adventure story; it is about defining success for yourself-in business or in life. In the '80s, success meant money, power, and prestige; but today, success is personal and comes from what we believe as individuals - our core value. On Everest, teamwork, commitment, and self-awareness take stark new meaning in the face of adversity, and even death. Through this book, the mountain becomes a metaphor, teaching powerful lessons for business and personal life.· The Everest Express Team Tryouts· Building a Team, a Real Team· We're All in This Together· Commitment· I'm Training for Everest and Having a Little Trouble On This Hill! · Body and Mind· Stairs and Beer Versus The Fitness Institute· Everybody Is Different· You Don't Just Go to Everest· Bite-Sized Pieces· High-Tech Climbers and Barefoot Porters· Motivation Makes the Difference Every Time· You Can't Carry a Full Pack on the First Day· Life Is Not a Macho Sport· Seven Asses· Set Clear Goals and Communicate Them Clearly· The Children of Nepal· Involve Others· Leeches, Leeches Everywhere· Is It Going to Change the World?· Crossing a Landslide- Step...by...Step· Team Bonding· In the Path of an Avalanche· Sometimes You Have to Be Lucky· The Corn Woman· Keeping Perspective· How Far Is Too Far?· You Can't Go Full Tilt All the Time· Sometimes You Lead, Sometimes You Follow· Everyone Has a Role· Jimmy's Life at Stake· Sometimes You Have to Leave Them Alone· Our Only Chance to Save Jimmy· Sometimes You Have to Let Somebody Else Do It· Another Hundred Pounds of Corn· Everyone Has a Load to Carry· The Challenges In Front of Us· You Can Learn a Lot by Looking Back· Climbing In the Clouds· When You Don't Know What to Do, Do It Slowly· Sleeping On a 3,000-Foot Vertical· It Is Amazing What You Can Do· Cerebral Edema Strikes Two of Our Climbers· The Laws of Nature Cannot Be Violated· I Push Myself Too Far· Balance· Now We Are a Real Team· You Have to Live and Work Together to Really Know Each Other· Everest· Define Roles and Goals· The Thrill of Being There- At Base Camp· Don't Get Cocky- Don't Forget the Lessons Learned· Death at 17,000 Feet: Know Yourself· Know Yourself· Ric Gets Pulmonary Edema· Core Values- Vital Signposts of Life· A Second Death Crystallizes the Message· The Right Mountain· Final Preparations for the Climb to the Peak· Establishing Priorities· I Have To Turn Back· Decision Making· Jimmy Hits the Wall· Using Core Values· The Team Goes On· Security and Support Systems· The Final Assault· What Is the Definition of Success?

"A book that first captures the heart and then goes on to snare the mind. The lessons go down easy, but they refuse to go away....If there is an unclimbed Mount Everest in your life, I highly recommend this book. It will first help you decide if you're on the right mountain; and then it will guide you to the top." —H. John Greeniaus, Former President & CEO, Nabisco, Inc. Looking for a job? Changing careers? Returning to the workforce? Trying to find balance? Rethinking your lifestyle? Searching for fulfillment? When you come to an important crossroads in life-particularly when it is forced upon you by an unexpected or unhappy event-it is human nature to ask, "Where have I gone wrong?" That is not the right question to ask. As a matter of fact, such brooding and negative thinking will take you entirely in the wrong direction, away from where you really want to go. The better question to ask-the question that opens doors, creates opportunities and helps take you where you want to go-is: "Where Have I Gone Right?" In Where Have I Gone Right? The Right Mountain Guide to Getting the Job and Life You Want, Jim Hayhurst offers his simple, unique approach to making key decisions and living a more satisfying life. His engaging, conversational writing, compelling metaphors and anecdotes from his years as a career counselor and business leader make this simple and practical guidebook the new standard for managing your career — and your life.

"In the 1930s, as official government expeditions set their sights on conquering Mount Everest, a little-known World War I veteran named Maurice Wilson conceives his own crazy, beautiful plan: he will fly a plane from England to Everest, crash-land on its lower slopes, then become the first person to reach its summit--all utterly alone. Wilson doesn't know how to climb. He barely knows how to fly. But he has the right plane, the right equipment, and a deep yearning to achieve his goal. In 1933, he takes off from London in a Gipsy Moth biplane with his course set for the highest mountain on earth. Wilson's eleven-month journey to Everest is wild: full of twists, turns, and daring. Eventually, in disguise, he sneaks into Tibet. His icy ordeal is just beginning."--Provided by publisher.

WINNER OF THE 2023 EDWARD STANFORD TRAVEL BOOK OF THE YEAR 'Silvia Vasquez-Lavado is a warrior. I'm in awe of her strength and courage' - Selena Gomez 'An incredibly powerful story' Sunday Independent 'In the Shadow of the Mountain has all the elements a great memoir requires - a strong voice, cinematic prose, a hero to root for - in essence, an extraordinary story about an extraordinary woman's life' - San Francisco Chronicle 'Silvia Vasquez-Lavado is a woman possessed of uncommon strength, rare compassion, and a ferocious stubbornness to not allow the trauma of her childhood to destroy her life' - Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love 'Powerful' - New York Times YOU DON'T CONQUER A MOUNTAIN. YOU SURRENDER TO IT ONE STEP AT A TIME. Despite a high-flying career, Silvia Vasquez-Lavado knew she was hanging by a thread. Deep in the throes of alcoholism, and hiding her sexuality from her family, she was repressing the abuse she'd suffered as a child. When her mother called her home to Peru, she knew something finally had to change. It did. Silvia began to climb. Something about the sheer size of the mountains, the vast emptiness and the nearness of death, woke her up. And then, she took her biggest pain to the biggest mountain: Everest. The 'Mother of the World' allows few to reach her summit, but Silvia didn't go alone. Trekking with her to Base Camp, were five troubled young women on an odyssey that helped each confront their personal trauma, and whose strength and community propelled Silvia forward... Beautifully written and deeply moving, In the Shadow of the Mountain is a remarkable story of compassion, humility, and strength, inspiring us all to find have faith in our own heroism and resilience.

In national bestseller The Mountain, world-renowned climber and bestselling author Ed Viesturs and cowriter David Roberts paint a vivid portrait of obsession, dedication, and human achievement in a true love letter to the world’s highest peak. In The Mountain, veteran world-class climber and bestselling author Ed Viesturs—the only American to have climbed all fourteen of the world’s 8,000-meter peaks—trains his sights on Mount Everest in richly detailed accounts of expeditions that are by turns personal, harrowing, deadly, and inspiring. The highest mountain on earth, Everest remains the ultimate goal for serious high-altitude climbers. Viesturs has gone on eleven expeditions to Everest, spending more than two years of his life on the mountain and reaching the summit seven times. No climber today is better poised to survey Everest’s various ascents—both personal and historic. Viesturs sheds light on the fate of Mallory and Irvine, whose 1924 disappearance just 800 feet from the summit remains one of mountaineering’s greatest mysteries, as well as the multiply tragic last days of Rob Hall and Scott Fischer in 1996, the stuff of which Into Thin Air was made. Informed by the experience of one who has truly been there, The Mountain affords a rare glimpse into that place on earth where Heraclitus’s maxim—“Character is destiny”—is proved time and again.

After John Hunt's successful 1953 expedition he wrote in his diary that at least the Everest story was finished. In fact, it had scarcely begun. The first ascent was the end of a chapter but far from the end of the story. Since those days, well over 300 men and women have stood on the summit of the world's highest mountain, some of them several times, seeking new routes, faster times, or simply to be numbered among the elite who have stood on the roof of the world. Everest: The Mountaineering History tells the truth about many of the world's mountaineering heroes, about the incompetence, the pettiness, and rages, as well as the courage and skill.
