'I firmly believe that everything in life is possible armed only with a determined approach and positive mindset.' Nims Purja MBE Nims Purja has spent the last 16 years serving in the UK military, six in the elite Ghurkas, ten in the secretive world of the UK's Special Forces. As a Special Forces soldier, Nims has made sacrifices on our behalf, giving up time with friends and family to go on multiple deployments in the world's toughest conflict zones. He has placed himself in harm's way, defending the freedom we enjoy. In Beyond Possible Nims tells how his tough Nepali upbringing and the lessons learned in his army life enabled his record-breaking conquest of all 14 of the world's 8,000m 'Death Zone' peaks in under seven months -- and break a further six world records in the process. He shows us how his physiology, training, mindset and sheer determination have taken him beyond possible over and over again. Everyone who reads this book will realise that beyond possible is a zone we can all achieve.
