Publishers Description: Get comfortable with being uncomfortablethe story of a 23-year-old tradie who put his body ‘through hell and back 10 times to prove that anything is possible when you break past your own barriers.Nedd Brockmann isnt afraid to dream big. Fresh after running fifty marathons in fifty days, the twenty-three-year-old had an idea: a 4000-kilometre run across Australia, averaging 100 kilometres per day with the aim of completing it in the fastest known time of 43 days. He wasnt chasing fame or public recognition. He just wanted to test his limits and raise a million dollars for homelessness in the process.Most said he was crazy, others claimed it couldnt be done. But those who know Nedd knew never to doubt him. They understood that this is someone who will do whatever it takes to finish what he started, and that when he commits his mind to something, he always gets it done.Understanding the mindset of someone predisposed to such feats of voluntary suffering has been nearly impossibleuntil now. With his trademark humour and unfiltered style, Nedd recalls the lessons learned on sporting fields that cultivated discipline, the setbacks that tested his resolve, and the relationships that proved most important of all: those who instilled the importance of hard work, of never giving up, and to always give back generously.
