Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The instant no. 1 Sunday Times bestseller A Sunday Times best biography of the year 'It's an incredible read for anyone facing adversity in their life; how to cope with it, how to stay positive in really difficult situations.' - Sally Nugent 'A throat-catching love letter to his wife and children . . . this lovely man has reframed a universally sad story into a life-enhancing one. The overall message is one of hope.' - The Times 'It's just stunning; funny and beautifully written' - as heard on The Chris Evans Breakfast Show 'A candid, sad yet ultimately life-affirming book. There is a thread of gratitude that runs far deeper than performative celebrity humility.' - Guardian -------- Sir Chris Hoy knows better than most how life can change in the blink of an eye. In elite sport, the margin between victory and defeat is miniscule, and the pressure is immense. Chris has built a glittering sporting career on understanding these moments: how to feel for them, how to cope with them, how to make them count. Last year, he faced another life-changing moment. He found out that the ache in his shoulder was in fact a tumour, and that he had Stage 4 cancer. He will be living with this disease for the rest of his life. In this memoir, Chris shares the next phase of his extraordinary life with exceptional bravery. He looks over the challenges he has faced thus far, and the ways he has taken them on. With his wife Sarra and their young children by his side, he shares how he has used these experiences to find ways to focus on the moments that matter, showing us how to do the same. -------- What readers think: 'Honest, inspirational and beautifully written.' 'A must read for anyone facing adversity in their lives, or indeed anybody who needs to put positivity back into theirs.' 'This has really helped me navigate my own cancer journey. Thank you Chris!' 'I already had a sense of pride when I bought this book. It turned out to be everything I had hoped it would be.' 'What a man. Such an inspiring read - read it over a weekend. Couldn't put it down.'.
