See You at the Summit: My Blind Journey from the Depths of Loss to the Heights of Achievement

by Randy Pierce

Randy Pierce was on top of the world, 22 years old, fresh out of college, and thriving at an excellent job. His promising future seemed certain. Then, in just two short and devastating weeks, an unexpected neurological disorder plunged him into blindness. Randy, believing his future had vanished in the blink of an eye, wondered, “How can my life have meaning now?”

Before he could fully answer, he had further to fall. Blindness was far from the worst challenge he would face.

See You at the Summit is Randy’s uplifting personal account of his journey through adversity to accomplishment. This improbable tale of human resiliency follows Randy as he learns to pick up the pieces of his life while discovering the extreme love, devotion, and bravery of his guide dogs.

He climbs from his lowest point, persevering to historic achievements in hiking, winning a national marathon championship, and becoming a highly sought motivational speaker. Randy’s insightful vision will show you how our choices in responding to life’s challenges define us so much more than those challenges ever could and perhaps, how a blind man really can see!

See You at the Summit is built upon an indomitable spirit inviting you to share in summits of success and reach your peak potential.

“In a world full of motivational books, there is quite simply nothing like See You At the Summit. Through his own deeply personal experiences, Randy not only explains how he battled through his own loss of sight, but gives the reader an emotional road map for how to approach and ultimately overcome obstacles in their own life. It doesn’t take 20/20 vision to see that this book is pure inspiration.” (Court Crandall, creator of the movie Old School, founder of Positivity Marketing and Entertainment)

I'm really proud of this book - it is my husband's story one I find is very inspirational. He and I worked together to tell his life story in a way that I think is engaging and shows the his enduring positive nature and determination. Give it a read.

The courage to try new things, push your abilities to match your aspirations is an ambitious and often difficult thing. How much more difficult it is to expose the struggle and emotions behind the outward face we show the world. Well written and inspiring.

Inspiring, moving, uplifting & in some places - heart-wrenching. This man lived in my hometown for many years - at the age of 22 he started to go blind - what happens after that is truly awe inspiring - a must-read, true story of unstoppable grit, fierce determination, deep friendships, undeniable love, and incredible teamwork - love this man's story!

Challenge, courage, and canines!

Randy writes with clarity and courage of his trials and his triumphs. His network of friends and communities of purpose is is a testament to his irrepressible relational capacity. Perhaps nowhere did I enjoy his writing more though than when he explored the powerful dynamics of the human - canine bond. If you love the inspiration of fellow human beings who don't give up on life (and love dogs too) then this is a read for you!

I know the author personally and he is one of the most inspirational people I have ever met. I had the privilege of meeting the Mighty Quinn too several years ago when I interviewed them shortly after they completed their climb of the 48 peaks. Even though I already knew some of his story, it was nice to learn more about his younger days, family and friends, and read about some of the challenges I was unaware of. A compelling story of triumph over adversity written with great warmth and humor.
