George Sir, I read the Wikipedia article on Eric Weihemmayer at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erik_Weihenmayer and was truly fascinated/inspired by his achievements. According to Wikipedia, He is the author of Touch the Top of the World: A Blind Man's Journey to Climb Farther Than the Eye Can See, his memoir; and The Adversity Advantage, Turning Everyday Struggles into Everyday Greatness. In a new thread, I will request someone to share these two books, would love to read it at some stage... Thank you for this interesting information!
