Publisher's Summary
Longlisted for the Indie Book Awards 2024
Nedd Brockmann isn’t afraid to dream big. Fresh after running fifty marathons in fifty days, the twenty-three-year-old had an idea: a 4000-kilometre run across Australia, averaging 100 kilometres per day with the aim of completing it in the fastest known time of 43 days. He wasn’t chasing fame or public recognition. He just wanted to test his limits and raise a million dollars for homelessness in the process.
Most said he was crazy, others claimed it couldn’t be done. But those who know Nedd knew never to doubt him. They understood that this is someone who will do whatever it takes to finish what he started, and that when he commits his mind to something, he always gets it done.
Understanding the mindset of someone predisposed to such feats of voluntary suffering has been nearly impossible – until now. With his trademark humour and unfiltered style, Nedd recalls the lessons learned on sporting fields that cultivated discipline, the setbacks that tested his resolve, and the relationships that proved most important of all: those who instilled the importance of hard work, of never giving up, and to always give back generously.
What the critics say
‘Among the many athletes pushing the outer envelope of human possibility, Nedd Brockmann stands alone–a young man who exudes a unique enthusiasm for life and rare authenticity that have made him a hero to millions of people across the world. In Showing Up, Nedd shares life lessons learned from his attempt to become the fastest man to traverse Australia on foot. Relatable with a dash of self-effacing humour sure to connect with a new generation, this book is a must read for anyone looking to extend their limitations and touch greatness in all aspects of life.’ (Rich Roll, bestselling author of Finding Ultra)
‘When I chose to become a mother I believed it was my job to nurture these little people to become resilient, contributing and empathetic members of society. I think this book is my report card.’ (Kylie Brockmann, Nedd’s mum)
‘To double down on the present when there is only pain takes a Neddy-calibre heart. Unique lessons from a young man’s perspective.’ (Tom Hunt, close friend of Neddy)
