Success

Into Thin Air is a personal account of constant motivation and perseverance, a will to live and help your teammates even through worst case scenarios.

Throughout the book we see that whether or not you have experience in something or if you don't particularly know what to do, if you have a dream to complete a task and you have the perseverance to keep working at it, you will achieve your goal.

Into Thin Air

Reader Response

Perseverance

“...I quickly came to understand that climbing Everest was primarily about enduring pain. And in subjecting ourselves to week after week of toil, tedium, and suffering, it struck me that most of use were probably seeking, above else, something like a state of grace.” (136)

"Indeed, shortly after dark, after Beidleman’s group failed to return, Boukreev made a courageous attempt to bring oxygen to them" (354).

Motivation

In The Book
