Defying the Limits: Lessons from the Edge of the Universe by Dave Williams
Whether you've already read the book or just wondering why it's highly recommended, join us for an open discussion about this Burlington Reads selection facilitated by our librarians. A copy of the book is not required for this discussion; bring your own, if you wish.
"An inspirational, uplifting, and life-affirming memoir about passion, resilience and living life to the fullest, from Dr. Dave Williams, one of Canada’s most accomplished astronauts.
Dr. Dave has led the sort of life that most people only dream of. He has set records for spacewalking. He has lived undersea for weeks at a time. He has saved lives as an emergency doctor, launched into the stratosphere twice, and performed surgery in zero gravity.
In Defying Limits, Dave shares the events that have defined his life, showing us that whether we’re gravity-defying astronauts or earth-bound terrestrials, we can all live an infinite, fulfilled life by relishing the value and importance of each moment."
(Excerpted from Simon & Schuster)
