About this listen

At the age of 22, Geordie Stewart became the youngest Briton to climb the Seven Summits - the highest mountain on every continent.

Aged 17, he read a book about Everest and, despite no climbing experience, became obsessed with achieving this ambition. Four years later, despite turning around 150 meters from the summit on his first attempt, he stood on top of the world.

This audiobook offers a raw, emotive, and passionate insight into the complexity of teenage vulnerabilities. The real aim in those seven mountains was not climbing glory or breaking records but rather a path to contentment.

In Search of Sisu reveals Geordie’s transition from a self-doubting teenager battling mental health issues to a young man who had the belief to realize his dreams.

"A raw and honest account. In Search of Sisu touches on key elements of human psychology, overcoming adversity and difficult decision making on an intensely personal journey." (Bear Grylls)

"Powerfully written and compelling. A must-read for anyone with an interest in adventure." (Sir Ranulph Fiennes)

I loved the book. I’ve read many accounts of Everest expeditions but this one made me feel like I was there - living through it. Looking forward to discovering more books by Geordie!
