“An inspiring guide on how to unearth a “second wind,” from someone who’s been there.”—Kirkus Reviews
“A must-read for anyone at a crossroads!”—Rich Diviney, retired Navy SEAL and bestselling author of The Attributes
“Those of us tethered to our devices or trapped by our own perceived limits will find inspiration here.”—Kai Ryssdal, host of Marketplace
“No matter your age, Not Too Late will inspire you to make big positive changes—to do hard things you didn’t think you could.”—Michael Easter, New York Times bestselling author of The Comfort Crisis and Scarcity Brain
“A must-read for anyone seeking to break free from the constraints of age and redefine what is possible in their life.”—Joe De Sena, Spartan founder and CEO and New York Times bestselling co-author of 10 Rules for Resilience and Spartan Up!
“For anyone who has ever wondered if there’s more juice to squeeze out of life. So—basically everyone.”—Scott Keneally, writer/director of Rise of the Sufferfests: A Film About Mud, Masochism and Modern Life
“An intimate first-person story of pivoting in midlife to embrace challenge, persevere, and triumph.”—R. Douglas Fields, PhD, author of Electric Brain and Why We Snap
“There’s a lot of wisdom packed into Not Too Late, but it’s also a fantastic page-turner of a story. Bounds’s dreams and doubts and insecurities are highly relatable for anyone staring into the headlights of middle age, and the way she tackles them will get you out of your chair—and perhaps down in the mud, crawling under some barbed wire.”
– Alex Hutchinson, best-selling author of Endure: Mind, Body & the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance
“In Not Too Late, Gwendolyn Bounds captures the powerful lure of discovering “flow” in midlife as she embraces something bold and once unimaginable. There are important lessons in this book that help us to put aside our fears, forget feeling foolish and try something new. Such a reset of who we believe we are, and what we are capable of doing, can help us to move from the weight of the world (which is easy to store up) to the wonder of the world.”
— Chip Conley, best-selling author of Learning to Love Midlife.
“Wendy Bounds is an inspiration! In Not Too Late she proves that reinvention is possible at any age – and gives you the tools you need to triumph over your fears and embrace your next adventure. Wendy not only changed her own life; her irresistible story will change yours.”
– Joanne Lipman, best-selling author of NEXT! The Power of Reinvention in Life and Work
"In a world plagued by isolation, alienation, and apathy, Not Too Late is an ode to the value of sport: a sense of belonging, intimacy, and mastery that's good for not just the body and mind but also the soul. Bounds inspires and shows how you can reap these rewards at any age."
– Brad Stulberg, best-selling author of Master of Change and The Practice of Groundedness
“I’ve always known Wendy Bounds was a badass. As it turns out, I think I might have even known it before she did. Her journey to that self-discovery, to embracing the inner badass that rests within so many of us, even if we don't think it does, is something that anyone who has ever felt the pull of the couch and midlife malaise will want to dive into. This story of a grand pivot to something dangerous just might change your life.”
– Matthew Futterman, author of Running to the Edge
Gwendolyn Bounds is an award-winning journalist who decided that middle age was the perfect time to master the challenging (and unexpected) sport of obstacle course racing. A blend of memoir and science, NOT TOO LATE is proof that change is possible at any age when we push limits.
Inspiration (possibly even panicked inspiration) struck when Gwendolyn Bounds attended a dinner party where she overheard someone ask a child, “what do you want to be when you grow up.” When you’re middle age, no one asks you that anymore. So answering that question for herself became a journey of transformation and a dive in to the competitive world of racing.
Bounds’ journey offers not only inspiration, but guidance, for anyone who craves more out of life. She includes insights from scientists, doctors who specialize in longevity, elite athletes, and performance experts on how to reimagine our limits and completely change what we think we have the ability to do. As she changes her own body and mindset, we find that these self-imposed boundaries don’t rule our lives, and we’re capable of so much more than we realize when challenged at any age.
Gwendolyn Bounds is an award-winning journalist and author whose career spans influential media brands including The Wall Street Journal, ABC News, Consumer Reports, CNBC, SmartNews, and more. Her first book, LITTLE CHAPEL ON THE RIVER (William Morrow, 2005), earned wide acclaim for its poignant portrayal of life inside a small-town pub after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Raised in North Carolina, Bounds now lives in New York’s Hudson River Valley. www.gwendolynbounds.com
