GGRIT: Choose to Rise
Meghan S. Buchanan · 2025 · 298 pages
Every day, we face a choice. To give in or to rise. 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— Gratitude, Growth, Resilience, Integrity, Tenacity—and shows how it can help anyone overcome obstacles, build confidence, and pursue extraordinary goals. Perfect for readers 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.
