Description

The first major trade book from Olympic medal-winning gymnast with a big platform and loyal audience on a timely and important subject. Nile Wilson has always been one of life's winners. A handsome and charismatic young man with an Olympic bronze medal in the Horizontal Bar at just 21 years old. But after a serious neck injury, forcing him to retire early and miss taking part in the Tokyo Olympics, Nile's world fell apart. Swamped with depression, anxiety and addictive behaviours, his mental health went over a cliff. Over the past 18 months, Nile has had to face down his demons and accept his new reality, and this is the book he wish he'd been given before it all began. Based on 12 hard-won lessons, Nile will guide you through the tools that have helped him come to back from the brink and find, for the first time, a sense of inner calm and renewed purpose. From recognizing destructive patterns, redefining success and managing self-talk, The Lessons will inspire and guide you through the ups and downs of life, and help you to build resilience and self-belief, no matter what.
