Your Mountain Is Waiting

The world is full of books with catchy, earnest prescriptions on creating a happier and more successful life. However, most of these merely fly over a landscape of positive habits, rarely diving into the challenges or the reasoning behind them. Your Mountain Is Waiting is different. It's easy-to-read, cliché-free and filled with relatable stories and practical advice. It goes beyond WHAT to do and explains WHY and HOW. It's about finding your purpose, taking the initiative, having fun, building lasting friendships, bouncing back from failure, and making the most of your life.
If you are searching for your mission in life or seeking a success more rewarding than money or titles, Your Mountain Is Waiting is the book for you.
The book was written for Nussey's sons who were graduating from high school and college. But it's just as valuable for anyone of any age, from young professionals to retirees, that want to find meaning and fulfillment in their lives. It is the perfect graduation gift.

Excerpts from the book:

Missions are like compasses. They set your direction and help you find your way when the trail ahead isn't clear. Author Laurence J. Peter said, "If you don't know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else."

Stuff happens. Situations change. The trails of life are full of deep holes, sharp sticks and dead ends. The point is that a small amount of preparation can help you avoid huge hassles. So, if you want to be a bit more prepared for the unexpected, here are a few tips that have worked for me…

Adventures change us. Acquaintances become lifelong friends. Courage eclipses fear. Perseverance conquers apathy. If even for just a little while, adventures help us become the best versions of ourselves.

One of the great lessons I've learned about failure comes from cats. Have you ever seen a cat go running across a wooden floor, lose its footing, and crash into a wall? The great thing about cats is that they get right back up, shake it off, and look at you as if to say, "Yeah, I meant to do that." We should all fail with that much confidence.
