Michael Earle Architect Of Life Starts A Single Step To a Mountain To Climb

A Mountain to Climb is an inspirational and motivational story of life memoir set in the 1960s and 1970s in England, and features a hazardous adventure on Timor while on a mission to carry out geological research for Earle’s PhD thesis.

Michael Earle – Architect of Life Starts a Single Step to “A Mountain To Climb” - A Mountain to Climb on Timor is a witty and entertaining account of a wayward teenager coming of age in Britain during the 1960s and 1970s and trying to transform his behaviour in a bid to prove his worth

Michael Earle’s journey begins when the chance discovery of geology inspires purpose and ambition at school, but he denies the need to curtail social activities and romantic endeavours in favour of hard work, and fails to win a place at university. The outcome is a year of manual labour and the low point of his life. Determined, he does not abandon hope and succeeds at the third attempt.

The climax of the story is a life-changing adventure in Indonesia among the indigenous Atoni on Timor Island, a hazardous experience full of emotional torment and physical challenges that push Earle to the limit. And he must race against time to make a geological map before the monsoon rains turn dry rivers into impassable torrents.
