Author Info

Matt Fioretti has been a high altitude mountain guide and climber in the Himalaya for 25 years. He has spent 44 seasons in altitude. At age forty, when he was at the peak of his climbing career, he suffered with life threatening Aplastic Anemia for 4 years before ultimately receiving a bone marrow transplant. Matt's unique perspective on survival, and the power of the mind body connection, grew from his epic medical journey and his high and wild journeys into the remote Himalaya of Nepal and Tibet. Ironically his hardest climb was not in the high, cold, thin air of the Himalaya.
