One Mountain - One Hundred Summits: Lessons, Habits, and Meditations Learned on the Trail. How 100 walks up a mountain brought me peace, restored my focus, and healed my tired soul.

by Matt Landry

In the midst of the global pandemic, the chaos of masks, isolation, uncertainty, and fear left me grappling with a sense of trauma and a general sense of "meh".

I knew I needed some sort of breakthrough, a means to process and mend my spirit.

Then inspiration struck—just ten minutes from my doorstep. Mt. Wachusett, a familiar and valued beacon of healing

What if I challenged myself to hike it 100 times? Could the mountain teach me lessons in healing? This book is the culmination of that journey—a series of 100 essays chronicling my ascents and the profound insights they yielded, penned over two transformative years.

Prepare to dive into a heartfelt journal brimming with reflections, positivity, and the occasional vent—after all, healing isn't a linear path. It's about embracing the full spectrum of emotions necessary to feel truly alive again.

In an era where many of us feel exhausted and lost, I offer a testament to the healing powers of nature. These essays are not just my story; they are invitations to rediscover your strength through the great outdoors.

I hope my journey up Mt. Wachusett inspires you to conquer your own mountains. Let's reclaim our vitality, together.
