When journalist Robert Andrew Powell finished his first marathon, he cried, cradled in his father’s arms. Long distance runners understand where those tears come from, even if there are others who will never understand what drives someone to run 26.2 consecutive miles in a grueling mental and physical test. Powell’s emotional reaction to completing the race wasn’t just about the run, though. It was also about the joy and relief of coming back up after hitting rock bottom.

Truly A Masterpiece
Revisado: 10-16-19
Absolutely one of the best books I have ever read/listened to (purchased both Kindle and Audible versions). Procrastination never felt so real. The author puts me there in his internal conversations, struggling with self-doubt, struggling with regrets, struggling with the voice of his father in his head. The author conveys a degree of radical self-honesty and self-awareness that is rare in this genre. The intimacy of the storytelling is so engrossing all you want to do is keep reading. Truly a masterpiece. All else being equal good writing is good writing is good writing. This is that in a memoir. I had previously read Powell's documentary "This Love is Not For Cowards" so I knew he was a strong writer. However, writing about others and writing about yourself are two very different skills. With this work, Powell proves he is a master of both.
