Finding Your Summit: How to Build Resilience and Faith Rise Above Life’s Challenges

What happens when the life you worked tirelessly to build no longer reflects who you are?For Mark Pattison, the answer emerged thousands of feet above sea level.In Finding Your Summit, Pattison invites readers into a deeply honest journey that spans professional football, high-stakes business, personal loss, and the world's most dangerous mountains. It is a story of reinvention in the moments that follow success, failure, and the quiet unraveling of identity.A former NFL wide receiver, Emmy Award-winning storyteller, and Seven Summits mountaineer, Pattison examines what remains after the applause fades-when titles fall away and you are left to confront who you are without them.This is not a book about conquering mountains. It is about learning how to endure when life takes your oxygen.Through personal and unfiltered reflection, Pattison explores:The loss of identity when a defining chapter comes to an endWhy true resilience is shaped through setbacks, not achievementsThe role of faith and patience when progress feels unseenThe discipline of taking "ten more steps" when quitting feels inevitableHow redefining success can become a matter of survivalFrom the Orange Bowl to the NFL, from business highs and failures to divorce, fatherhood, and ultimately the summit of Mount Everest, Finding Your Summit reveals a simple truth: real growth does not happen at the top. It happens in the climb.Grounded, reflective, and deeply human, this book is for anyone navigating transition, rebuilding after disappointment, or searching for meaning beyond external success.Your summit is not a destination.It is a process.
