<p>I've got something special for you today: a true adventure story set in the Far North featuring that I underwent a few years ago after a kidney transplant. I ended up learning a LOT about mental toughness, resilience, and strategies for making progress when I was absolutely at the end of my rope, lessons that I think are universally applicable.</p> <p>The book out today in hardcover, Kindle, and Audible audiobook formats. Since this is a podcast, I thought I'd give you the first three chapters in audio form, including an incident so embarrassing that I almost didn't include it in the book at all.</p> <p>If you grab the hardcover this week, I'll make sure you get a signed copy! If you get the Kindle or audiobook format, then you'll get my thanks and undying gratitude. <br /> <br /> You can get it at your local bookstore but you also get it at ALL the big online sites, including these links here at <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Perseverance-Death-Subarctic-Stephan-Kesting/dp/1639368612/">Amazon.com</a>, and <a href= "https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/perseverance-stephan-kesting/1145682384"> Barnesandnoble.com,</a></p> <p>In Canada you can get it at <a href= "https://www.amazon.ca/Perseverance-Death-Subarctic-Stephan-Kesting/dp/1639368612/"> Amazon.ca</a> or <a href= "https://www.indigo.ca/en-ca/perseverance-life-and-death-in-the-subarctic/9781639368617.html">Indigo.ca</a>.<br /> <br /> In the UK it comes out a little later, but you can still preorder it at any of the links on <a href= "https://www.simonandschuster.co.uk/books/Perseverance/Stephan-Kesting/9781639368617"> simonandschuster.co.uk.</a><br /> <br /> I hope you enjoy consuming this book in your favorite format it as much as I enjoyed writing it for you!<br /> <br /> Thanks so much,<br /> Stephan Kesting</p> <p><strong>P.S.</strong> You can see some very kind early reviews of the book at <a href= "https://www.stephankesting.com/perseverance-book">stephankesting.com/perseverance-book</a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.stephankesting.com/perseverance-book"><img src= "https://www.grapplearts.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Perseverance-Life-and-Death-in-the-Subarctic-by-Stephan-Kesting-400.jpg" alt="Perseverance, Life and Death in the Subarctic" width="400" height="452" /></a></p>
