rowing the Atlantic by Roz Savage

Subtitle: Lessons Learned on the Open Ocean -- I love these kinds of books. She was not happy with where her life was going and made a change. Now, I don't think I would row across the Atlantic, but she did, and what a trip is was. Things broke, her body fought her, the weather was a beast and mentally it was a real challenge. She faced all of these things head on and told you about it in a way that did not make her sound whinny about the whole experience. I could relate to her on some level of low self-esteem and confidence. So, when she did something she did not think she could do and succeeded I felt it very much for her. She learned a lot about herself and told you about it in a very easy way. It was never preachy or made me feel like I was not doing well with my life. In some ways it is challenging me to do things differently in my life. It was very inspiring.
