"Funny, moving, and fearlessly honest..." In an impulsive attempt to escape his overworked life, Florian shrugs off his unfit physique and decides to summit the world's highest freestanding mountain, Kilimanjaro. Waving goodbye to his wife and unborn child, he steps onto a plane with a hastily packed duffle bag and oblivious optimism. This laugh-out-loud memoir brings the reader on a harrowing journey up Kilimanjaro and into the headache-ridden mind of a determined thrill-seeker. Florian pushes through the consequences of poor decisions, forces his body to meet extreme limits, and ultimately encounters a humble truth: that achieving one's goals is rarely a solitary endeavor. What Is Left is the first book by French-American author Florian Eizaguirre. **Praise for What Is Left** " What Is Left is a funny, moving, and fearlessly honest account of overcoming huge doubts and daunting obstacles. You'll feel like you're climbing Kilimanjaro along with Eizaguirre, step by agonizing step. Recommended for readers in search of their deepest selves." --Marcia Trahan, author of Mercy: A Memoir of Medical Trauma and True Crime Obsession
