Review of The Altitude Journals
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Altitude Journals" by David J Mauro.]
The Altitude Journal: A Seven-Year Journey from the Lowest Point in My Life to the Highest Point on Earth by David J. Mauro is based on the author's true life. The best part of the book is the section on mountain climbing experiences. It demonstrates, in some ways, that life has its own mountains that we must climb in order to reach our full potential. Numerous life obstacles confront the author, making him feel like a failure and as if he has lost his sense of purpose. He is left with the impression that he has nothing to lose, which prompts him to reconsider his purpose.
The book is brimming with inspiring examples that are essential for anyone looking to move forward in life after a setback. The book essentially encourages readers to fully commit to their deepest desires, which may or may not be their calling, in order to re-discover or discover their full potential. The narrator learns life lessons after each climb, making him stronger than before. Family and friends play an important role in helping us achieve all of our goals, and are thus an important part of everyone's daily life.
The book is extremely motivating and inspiring. It forces us to confront the challenge of not allowing life's setbacks to prevent us from reaching our full potential. It emphasizes that in order to achieve anything, one must believe in oneself as others do. Marriage, divorce, love, family, forgiveness, and success are just a few of the intriguing themes covered in the book. The work employs both narrative and descriptive writing styles. The narrator's life appears to mirror that of many others of his generation.
The book is divided into 11 sections and has 456 pages. The cover of the book drew me in because it complemented the contents, in which the author recounts his seven-mountain adventure (Denali, Kilimanjaro, Elbrus, Aconcagua, Vinson Massif, Carstensz Pyramid, and Everest). The title of the book caught my attention because we all need to change our mindsets and it has helped me and possibly other readers. There was nothing in the book that perturbed me, so I had nothing to dislike.
Throughout the book, which was professionally edited, I encountered no grammatical or editorial issues. The language in the book was simple and easy to understand. I gave this book a rating of 4 out of 4 stars because it is both informative and entertaining. It has a humorous tone that makes it entertaining to read. This book is recommended for anyone looking to get out of a depressed state and thrive again, as well as all mountain climbers.
