Nile Wilson has always been one of life's winners; a charismatic young man with an Olympic bronze medal in the Horizontal Bar at just 21 years old. But after a serious neck injury, forcing him to retire early and miss taking part in the Tokyo Olympics, Nile's world fell apart.

Swamped with depression, anxiety and addictive behaviours, his mental health went over a cliff. Over the past few years, Nile has had to face down his demons and accept his new reality, and this is the book he wish he'd been given before it all began.

Based on 15 hard-won lessons, Nile will guide you through the tools that have helped him come to back from the brink and find, for the first time, a sense of inner calm and renewed purpose. From recognizing destructive patterns, redefining success and managing self-talk, The Lessons will inspire and guide you through the ups and downs of life, and help you to build resilience and self-belief, no matter what.

So many nuggets of helpful advice. I'm helping my 12-year-old grandson with batting with American baseball. Every time he goes to bat, I remind him, "I can do this." It's helping. Thanks, Nile! Wishing you continued success and progress!

This book is applicable to all people who struggle and those who love them. Nile’s perspective is refreshing. and while I knew most of the practices already, his openness and questioning made me think. Major career changes whether planned or not can damage our future. The devastation tore me apart and it is a loss that I don’t know if I will ever totally recover from in my heart.

At 62, It was nice to not feel alone. We all have our demons. They just aren’t always as public, but they all destroy self-worth.

I love this book. You helped me incredibly even at my age of 60 years. I also work with young men with similar mental issues and they are now buying this book. To know that more men have similar issues makes a huge impact on others. Thank you so much.
