Summary of Colin O'Brady's The 12-Hour Walk

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was invited to speak to several hundred Wall Street executives about mindset, risk, and overcoming obstacles. I was running a few minutes late as I hastily stepped into the building's lavish lobby. The doorman told me I wasn't supposed to be going to the penthouse. #2 I was invited to a gathering of elite investors who knew each other for the purpose of screwing each other out of deals. As I took my seat at the table, I thought about how I didn’t really fit in. I was raised by strong-minded women, and now I was married to another strong woman who helped organize every detail of our projects. #3 I spoke about my experiences at the summit of Mount Everest, explaining that the day I reached the top, three people died doing what I was doing. It was hard to talk about, but I felt most alive in those moments. #4 I asked the guests at the dinner what their childhood dreams were, and most were silent. The old man who had spoken to me after dinner said that he had always wanted to go to a summer camp in upstate New York, but time had passed him by.
