Every day, we face a choice. To give in or to rise. GGRIT: Choose to Rise is the raw, inspiring memoir and personal development guide of Meghan S. Buchanan, an aerospace engineer, adventure athlete, and mountaineer who has faced down adversity, setbacks, and fear to redefine what’s possible.

Equal parts adrenaline, humor and heart, Meghan shares the triumphs and disasters that shaped her, from being dismissed in the classroom for her dyslexia, brutal injuries, and career setbacks to personal reinvention and boundary-breaking goals, like summiting Everest and chasing the Explorers Grand Slam.

Along the way, she reveals her powerful framework—GGRIT: Gratitude, Growth, Resilience, Integrity, Tenacity—and shows how it can help anyone overcome obstacles, build confidence, and pursue extraordinary goals.

In GGRIT: Choose to Rise you’ll discover:

• How to reframe challenges into fuel for growth
• Why failure is often the most important teacher
• Tools to cultivate resilience and integrity in daily life
• The mental strategies behind conquering seemingly impossible goals
• A repeatable framework for choosing courage over comfort

Perfect for listeners of Wild by Cheryl Strayed, Can’t Hurt Me by David Goggins, and Becoming by Michelle Obama, this book is both a gripping adventure story and a practical guide to personal transformation.

Choose courage. Choose challenge. Choose GGRIT.
