The gripping I, Tarzan is a deep journey into the author’s innermost secrets that will have you questioning your own self-understanding and life goals. “I, Tarzan, simply put, is the most inspirational memoir of the year.” – Chanticleer Reviews ★★★★★ By age thirteen, I was an alcoholic — anything to numb myself from my world of emotional abuse. That wasn’t who I wanted to be. My dreams of adventure and exploration were so far out of reach. I’d never become Tarzan. I’d never become Jacques Cousteau. But I was wrong. This is my story… From a bullied and neglected boy, to living the American Dream, to becoming a well-traveled world adventurer “Jean-Philippe’s life is like the ultimate ultra-marathon, where hope, perseverance, and grit determine the outcome. I, Tarzan: Against All Odds is his story of redemption and remembrance that inspires and energizes the reader to believe that far-reaching dreams can come true. Jean-Philippe proves that your attitude determines your altitude — and high he climbs in this must-read memoir!” – Dean Karnazes, ultramarathoner and NY Times bestselling author “Marco Polo meets Tom Sawyer, I, Tarzan is the roller-coaster chronicle of Jean-Philippe Soule’s early life of challenge and adventure. …This is a story of success, wrought in the fires of despair and wrapped up in good old-fashioned storytelling.” – Ian Adamson, author and world’s most celebrated adventure racer “What a story! I cannot recommend this read highly enough. Having read many books of courage and self-help over the years, it takes a lot to move me emotionally….” —Grant Leishman (author), Readers’ Favorite: 5/5 stars “Any reader who believes that early adversity sets a life's course in stone should read I, Tarzan: Against All Odds.” – D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review Today, through his Live Your Adventure inspirational memoirs series, Jean-Philippe inspires people to embrace their dreams and live life to the fullest. Influenced by Jacques Cousteau and other grand explorers before him, Jean-Philippe spent his childhood in the beautiful outdoors pushing physical boundaries before joining the elite French Special Forces Mountain Commandos in 1985 and ultimately leaving his native France to travel the world. This quest morphed him from a starry-eyed child to a recognized explorer, but only at the cost of abandoning the conditioning of the modern world and daring to do the impossible: a lesson he hopes encourages others who refuse to listen when told “they can’t.” Start reading I, Tarzan today, and be ready for a gripping real-life adventure...
