I just finished reading it this weekend and I really enjoyed it, every opportunity be it on a tram or in the evening, I picked it up and read. Admittedly, there were times where it really scared me, being on steep sheets of ice and crevasses and there were times when it brought tears to my eyes and evoked varying emotions like sadness and exhilaration. I loved reading about her personal lessons, it is fascinating how everyone finds their way and through their own form of expression. I liked the way Ania used humour throughout despite it being very tough at times. What an incredible adventure!It was very inspiring to read and it has certainly inspired me to take further steps in my own adventures and challenges. There were many insights but the one that really springs to mind now is "Step by step"...

Why the hell Bother? How climbing the Seven Summits changed my life edition by Ania Lichota SelfHelp eBooks Reviews
Even if most likely I will not climb any of those mountains, the book revealed so much to me. Ania describes her experiences in such a vivid way that I am freezing in my armchair when she talks about the cold in Antarctica. The pictures she draws of the breathtaking nature she discovers on her tours are wonderful, so are the portraits of the people she meets. She shares her highest and her lowest moments with the reader and gives you the feeling you have been part of it. And the best - she shares her learnings, there are quite a few precious lessons for life which I will take with me.
This book is not a typical traveller book and is not only about journeys through high mountains. Beside technical side of preparation to climbing and how to survive in death zone and how to deal with illnesses, sickens and troubles in trainings, this book presents also point of view on family and mates and partners in comparison of our life choice. This book also showing very detailed life on Himalayas and Antarctica, in this areas climbers have a lots of funny and silly situations which makes smile on my face, but more often shows dangerous and glory of mountains and this how fragile is human life. Really good book not only for climbers but for people who want to take more from life.
I read the book once and then twice. What a story. It made me travel from the Artic Circle to Antartica in some countries I don't know. It taught me what a safety carabiner is and what means a wuss in English - I'm French -. But above all, it was an invitation to follow in the footsteps of a woman too alive, too happy, too funny, too active, too accepting, too busy, too crazy and that is just the half of the story.
And this story is truly extreme. All is beyond imagination the military discipline during preparation, the physicall price to pay in so terrible conditions and Ania's consciousness of how feels, how reacts, each part of her body, each part of her soul, each part of her surrounding. It is quasi mystical and beyond human limits... but she did it. Great! We have now some ideas of what a dramatic experience can mean in her mouth.
The favorite part of my reading is Mount McKinley with the basic precepts of the one-foot-in-front-another philosophy. So, thanks Ania for this pure oxygen bubble it shines on my life even if it questions me on my own achievements.
So inspirational and motivating!
As a fellow climber, I could totally relate to the story. The experiences Ania relayed were vividly described. Since English is not her 1st language, don’t expect too too much from the actual prose, but the story makes up for any lack of grammar!
While reading the book I writhed in envy. So many feelings, impressions, experiences... Nature, countries, landscapes, all of them beyond of my reach. Moreover, I was bewitched not only with Ania's stamina, consistency and determination. The main feature of her life is- in my opinion - the perfect organisation of her routine, professional life and the way she managed to finance her adventures. That's the point passion + self-discipline. It is very hard to bring them together.
Oh, by the way, I read some comments about Ania's cherished project - A Nepalese school for poor children. She manages to raise money in Poland to support it. Unfortunately, in my country there is no long established tradition to support charity. It is a pity so I wish her all the best.
I loved the book!!
It is well-written, easy to read. With almost every chapter, Ania made me cry. The development and changes of each trip are great. If that is all she had written, the book is worth buying. Overlaying her personal development and changes because of these challenges, more than doubles its value.
Typically one-time heroics or tragedies tell us little about the person or the event because the circumstances seem to coincidentally and inseparably merge the two. We wonder whether the heroism or tragic flaw would exist without the event. Is the person really heroic or tragic? How has each changed because of their interaction?
In Why the Hell Bother? Ania has created independent, detailed pictures of the person (herself) and the event (climbing the seven summits). We learn that each is impressive in their own right. But the compelling story is also the integration of these two as a struggle between an unrelenting will and an unforgiving force. We no longer wonder about the effect the summits had on Ania. The mystery is what affect Ania has had on the summits.
Her accounting has reminded me to return to my own writing and re-experience my struggles with events that helped form me at various passages in my life--and, to accept more challenges to change, to grow more.
Thanks, Ania.
