UNTETHERED ~WHEN SUCCESS IS YOUR ONLY OPTION

 

Before Alex Honnold or Alain Robert, there was Dan Goodwin.

​

"A gripping, heart-pounding ride that proves the human spirit is unbreakable."

​​​​

He was told it was impossible. But 1,454 feet above the water-soaked streets of Chicago, clinging to the Sears Tower in a custom Spider-Man suit with a pair of suction cups, Goodwin proved that the only limits are the ones we create.

 

In Untethered, Goodwin pulls back the curtain on a life lived on the edge. From the quiet shores of Cape Porpoise, Maine, to setting a Guinness World Record on the CN Tower by free-soloing both sides without a rope. This is the unvarnished story of the ‘least likely’ hero. It is a saga of survival against all odds: overcoming a near-fatal car crash, a public attempt on his life, financial ruin, and a terrifying battle with Stage Four cancer. It is a journey that comes full circle with a love story for the ages and Stan Lee declaring him a real-life Superhuman.

 

Part thriller, part history lesson, Untethered plunges you into the trenches of the sport climbing revolution—from the first ascent of ‘Maniac,’ the world’s most difficult route at that time, a route that took 27 years before receiving a second ascent by none other than Alex Honnold, the First International Sport Climbing Championship, and the Skyscraper Defense Act. This bill could change high-rise safety forever.

 

More than a memoir, this is a manifesto for survival. Goodwin reveals "Goodwin's Law"—the power of rephrasing negatives into positives to master fear and influence the outcomes. He shares the secrets to trusting your intuition and designing a life of longevity.

 

It took 45 years to live this story and 25 years to write it. Untethered is the game changer you’ve been waiting for—proof that no matter how deep the fall, you can always rise again.

 

If I can do it, so can you.
