Book Description
This book inspired me so much that “Find a Way” has become my mantra. The author writes about her journey to become the first person to swim from Cuba to Key West, Florida. I loved how she found unique ways to mentally endure the mind-numbingly long hours of swimming and the grit to attempt it again and again after so many setbacks. This is perhaps an extreme story, but it inspired me and gave me strategies for how to reframe and overcome the challenges I face in my own life.
