The Power of Purpose: How to obliterate obstacles and triumph over impossible adversity
by Richard Wright‘The only thing in life that you have 100 per cent control over are the thoughts in your head. When your thoughts are centred around the very essence of your purpose, and the meaning of your life, you unleash immeasurable power.’In 2016 Richard Wright was confronted with a diagnosis of rare pituitary cancer – a disease about which little is known, other than that it is almost invariably terminal.In attempting to deal with this bleak knowledge Richard defined what mattered most in his life, his true purpose, which was ensuring that his two young daughters would not have to grow up without their dad.Understanding his life purpose, he focused on overcoming the seemingly insurmountable challenges and obstacles that faced him, using the sheer power of his mind. Ongoing research into what the human mind is capable of, and sheer grit and determination, enabled him to complete four full Ironman races while undergoing harsh cancer treatment, with his daughters cheering him on. It wasn’t easy and he had to dig deep to overcome setbacks and disappointments, but he never gave up. Instead, he found the strength, and the freedom, to speak his truth and to become the most authentic version of himself possible.Richard’s story, told with raw honesty, humility and humour, provides proof that discomfort sparks outrageous achievement, especially when linked to our sense of purpose. It is a profound story of passion and endurance but, above all, it is a story that will resonate deeply for every one of us, whatever our life circumstances, revealing learnings that challenge us to think differently about our purpose in life.The Power of Purpose is an unforgettable account of one man’s indomitable will to overcome crippling adversity. Its power will remain with you long after you have turned the last page.What Richard has done with The Power of Purpose is nothing short of a gift. A modern-day Man's Search for Meaning. – BRONWYN WILLIAMS, Futurist, Trend Analyst, EconomistUtterly remarkable. Richard has a way of illuminating the darkness beyond possibility like nobody I’ve ever met. – MIKE STOPFORTH, Director of Beyond Binary, Entrepreneur, Speaker

Escape Everything!: Escape from work. Escape from consumerism. Escape from despair.
by Robert WringhamWe are all trapped by modern life. Trapped! Trapped by work, consumerism, stress, debt, isolationism and general unhappiness.We will each spend an average of 87,000 hours at work before we die. We will spend another 5,000 hours getting to and from work and countless more preparing for work. Worrying about work. Recovering from work.The majority of us hate our jobs. But without work, we can't buy all the things we've been told we should want and need, so around we go... Through the pages of New Escapologist magazine, Robert Wringham has been studiously examining the traps of modern life, questioning where our commitment to them stems from and why we are so unable to break free. Taking inspiration from the great Escapologist Harry Houdini – who escaped from jail cells, straitjackets, and even the innards of a dead whale – Wringham applies Houdini's feats as a metaphor for real life, proposing the principle of Escapology as a way to cut loose our shackles.Become a modern-day Escapologist and freedom and happiness might be possible after all.
