>speaker, has turned into life-enhancing experiences.

>frustration, helplessness, and anger and turn them into advantages. This
>is not fiction, this is fact. Weihenmayer and Stoltz have teamed up to

>for using adversity as a force for achievement, resilience, agility,
>energy... and even joy.

>life. It shapes your character, clarifies your priorities, and defines
>your path. It can also fuel your greatness."
