"Every Second Counts" is Lance Armstrong's
follow-up to his bestselling first memoir,
"It's
Not About the Bike". In it he shares more details of his remarkable life,
following his 1999 Tour de France win after battling with testicular cancer.
Since then, he has had three more Tour de France wins, an Olympic medal, and
the birth of twin daughters. In this title, he offers us his life philosophy -
his thoughts on training, competing, winning and failure. He also recounts the
work done to the Foundation he set up following his dramatic recovery and
introduces further inspirational tales of cancer survival. Armstrong draws from
his experiences to show that suffering, fear and death are the essential human
condition. In so openly using his own life to illustrate how to face this
reality, he proves that he truly is a hero - and not just because of the
bike. |
