"The Adversity Advantage taught me how to take life's challenges and uncertainties and use them to fuel a more purpose-driven life. Through reading about Erik’s adventures and the challenges he has faced and by implementing Paul's methods you will come out of the adversity you face in a much greater place than where you had been when the adversity struck. If there is one book to read that will teach you how to succeed in life . . . this is it."

"I found the blend of Erik's adventures climbing the Seven Summits and Paul's strong message perfect. I liked being able to relate back to real-life situations through Erik's writing about his life and adventures. So many books of this type lack the true human aspect of dealing with adversity in our lives. I became more focused, more creative, more driven, after reading The Adversity Advantage. There is a life-changing message in this book. I highly recommend it."

"The Adversity Advantage encouraged our team to walk into the midst of the current economic adversity with optimism and look for the new opportunities that these times bring. All of our top executives have read The Adversity Advantage and it has been an inspiration that has truly made a difference."

"I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Adversity Advantage because it drove me to re-examine how I react and respond to adversity in my own life. It taught me some new techniques for dealing with the obstacles I face every day. It's well written, balanced, and doesn't try to beat you over the head with theoretical jargon like many other books. Instead, it provides practical insight that everyone can understand and assimilate."
