Review

“Life-affirming. . . . A story about refusing to accept, or be defined by, defeat.” —The New York Times Book Review“An inspiration.” —The Wall Street Journal“Reads like a gripping thriller.” —People“Outstanding. . . . A masterful memoir and powerful demonstration of what’s possible when you don’t give up your dream.” —The Christian Science Monitor“What makes Nyad’s story so remarkable, beyond the harrowing trials she faced at sea—unpredictable currents and weather, deadly sea animals—is the strength of a resolve that would not admit defeat and knew no boundaries. ‘Whatever your Other Shore is,’ she writes, ‘whatever you must do . . . you will find a way.’ Inspiring reading for anyone who has ever dared to dream the impossible.” —Kirkus Reviews“Fascinating. . . . Nyad’s writing is clear and direct, with her grit and determination finally finding a way.” —The Seattle Times “Astonishing. . . .

Very inspiring. Some of the challenges Diana Nyad went through to achieve her dream were unbelievable! What a warrior woman. From her childhood, where sexual abuse turned her into an overachiever, to her mid-sixties, where she has one more chance to achieve her lifelong dream, Nyad inspires, yet she's very human. She is introspective, suffers emotionally, wonders about herself, but in the end, gets on with it.This is a story not just of super-human athletic accomplishment, but also of rebirth at an age when conventional culture writes you off. For example, Nyad reflects on how she feels in her sixties as opposed to forty years earlier: "I'm not as sensitive or delicate emotionally, either, so I suppose the mental calm and perspective that comes with age contributes to being more robust in this new incarnation of my athletic self...In my sixties, I am far more patient, with myself and my crew..."Nyad also talks about the fact that she is atheistic, disliking the slogan, "It was meant to be." She says, "I learned through my own life's journey that one makes oneself a champion...(if 'it was meant to be'), then where is hope? Where does will come in? Where is the inspiration to change and better oneself?" I enjoyed her story, and felt inspired and motivated after reading it.

Diana Nyad holds an inexplicable power to push herself beyond personal limits. Whether that was created from innate personal strength or forged from unfortunate personal circumstances, we get to share a bit of what it’s like to live a willful life on the edge. There is a life lesson here for all of us.I guess I’ve always wondered what drives people to do the impossible. For many like me, Diana’s stories have been heard over the years in short but stunning news blurbs, like swimming around Manhattan or across the English Channel. Diana was always a pioneer in these feats not to mention how she elevated the capability of women each time she broke a new record. These records get broken. But, what remains each time for all of us to ponder is the question “What are our limits?”The book is a well-written riveting autobiography told around her ultimate personal challenge - completing a 110 mile swim from Cuba to Florida. The bizarre conditions of the sport of open water ocean swimming allows only to provide and protect, but not assist her swim or float in any way, She is adrift for over two days surrounded by a flotilla of boats and staff that can only help guide, manage and protect her.What is perhaps as remarkable as breaking the record was that she accomplished what many thought impossible on her fifth attempt at the age of 64. In the sport of open ocean swimming Cuba to Florida was the “Everest” to be conquered. It required peak physical and mental conditioning even in her 60’s and a blessing of fortunate natural conditions like warm temperatures, and favorable winds and currents. Sharks could be scared away but swarms of deadly box jellyfish were unpredictable and impossible to avoid. Through many painful experiences and many failed attempts she was able to “Find a Way” to overcome even these obstacles.The book made me wonder whether it’s the thoughts the person holds dearly or the challenge itself that leverages our capability to go beyond the ordinary. What do we gain by trying and failing and trying again? Certainly, it all starts with a dream and ends with our ability to fight off our demons and believe in ourselves. Diana Nyad’s story is an inspiration to anyone who harbors an impossible dream.

I knew nothing about the author until I discovered and joined her Everwalk Nation initiative last year.I am a walker and recreational /commuter cyclist who does not drive a car.I am a writer/blogger and photographer who has written quite a bit about gratitude and never giving up so I recently bit the bullet and bought this book.Let me get something out of the way, immediately...There are some people who may be turned off by the sexual orientation and political views of the author...if you let that be the deciding factor in whether you purchase and read the book, or join her walking initiative, then it is your loss and a huge mistake.This is a memoir sharing the life of someone as she experienced it, and those events, the good and the bad and how they shaped the adult she eventually became, are a part of the story she tells, but only a small part.Yes, you learn she's gay and you can't help but wonder how the bad in her early years led to this, but it is her life and she moves on from the admission of her orientation and only lightly touches on the loves of her life afterward.Her life as a swimmer, broadcaster and author and her repeated efforts at the Cuba Swim, until eventual success, is the major focus of this book and rightly so.With the help and support of all the many people in her life, gay and straight, she "found a way" to overcome many challenges in her life and succeed.What she went thru, the difficulties faced and how she overcame them as she finally succeeded on the swim make for interesting, gripping, reading.Her message about never giving up and finding a way will resonate with anyone struggling to succeed at something in their life.If you are a walker don't let the long distance walks of Everwalk Nation keep you from joining...You will find like-minded people and support and encouragement even if you only do walks of a couple miles to a dozen or so.
