About this audiobook
In 2015, high on the side of Mount Everest, I experienced the darkest days of my life to date. Little did I realize that the darkest day was still to come four years later. But this also led to me discovering the truth about who I was, and what I wanted out of life. It took a life of Misadventure to discover the answers.
Ellis J Stewart has lived a life rich in many adventures, and he's only 48! Attempting to summit Mount Everest and getting caught in catastrophes not once but twice. Being employed as everything from a taxi driver to an Amazon delivery driver, through to a well-received public speaker at events from the local Scout group to international corporate clients.
He has also experienced the deepest reaches of depression and mental health issues, which he will honestly and freely talk about in a bid to help others in a similar situation. His philosophy is that life is for living, and if we don't try, we will never know. Regrets are there to teach us what we can do better next time.
His first book, Everest: It's Not About the Summit has become an Amazon bestseller and has rave reviews from around the globe. His second book, Misadventure: Lessons Learned From a Life of Ups and Downs is both a prequel and a sequel to his Everest story. It is the tale of his life with a myriad of incredible highs and the darkest lows. He writes with brutal honesty and clarity, both motivational and inspirational.
Ellis lives in the Northeast of England with his wife, two daughters, and his dog Ella.
