Pissfit: A Blueprint for Adventure, Camaraderie and Pushing Your Boundaries

Book Synopsis: Pissfit [pis-fit] (adjective): A compound word combining “piss” (an Australian and English colloquial term for alcohol) and “fit” (relating to physical fitness).

1. being used to drinking regularly, being able to drink a lot, capable of avoiding hangovers.
2. having an enthusiasm for adventures with like-minded people; being driven by having a great time (piss) after an exhausting day of exercise (fit).

Some people feel that physical challenges are only for the elite who spend months and years training, dieting, and preparing with the aim of winning. The objective of this book is to prove that is not the case and indeed anyone can take on grueling challenges such as riding a bike across a country, running across a desert, climbing big mountains, or paddling between distant islands.

Such challenges do indeed require a degree of physical fitness; however, the core differentiator is attitude. Having completed some of the world’s hardest challenges, Mark Power and those that have joined him on the decades of “Pissfit” tours recount their incredible stories, their challenges, and their achievements.

Each chapter reinforces that the right mental state and optimism helped each adventurer achieve goals that few in this world can boast. From many global experiences and interactions, Power has distilled a set of 11 mantras for people to be guided by, including “Always be charging”, “Be ready for anything”, and “Practice makes more better”.

Pissfit is an entertaining and inspiring set of anecdotes that will not just change your approach to adventure and challenges… but may change your approach to life, to your work, and to your relationships with friends and family.

About the Author:

By his mid-forties Mark Power had done a lot… a lot more than 99.99% of the population. He's lived in multiple countries and traveled to dozens more. He has started numerous successful businesses. He's a father and husband to a gorgeous family. And he's run across deserts, biked across countries, and swam between cities.

But he's not born into wealth, not particularly famous (until this book becomes a bestseller), not a professional athlete, and his friends would suggest only just above average in terms of looks.

What Mark has is positivity, focus, determination, and the ability to connect with anyone to share a laugh. Mark's set of Pissfit mantras and approach to life is what makes him an inspiration to those who already know him and to those who will learn more from this book.
