THE FAMILY THAT CONQUERED EVEREST
An awe-inspiring true story of adventure, perseverance, and the unbreakable bonds of family. In this riveting account, Alan shares the gripping journey of how he, along with his father, mother, sister, and brother, set out to achieve what no family had ever done before – reach the summit of Mount Everest together.
Battling extreme weather, oxygen deprivation, and the constant risk of avalanches, the Mallorys faced life-or-death challenges at every turn. The physical demands of high-altitude mountaineering pushed their bodies to the limit, while the psychological and emotional toll of the journey tested their trust, teamwork, and resilience in ways they had never imagined. With each grueling step, they had to rely on one another, not just to succeed, but to survive.
But this book isn’t just about climbing a mountain. It’s about the lessons learned along the way—lessons that apply to everyday life, business, leadership, and personal growth. From setting ambitious goals and navigating uncertainty to making critical decisions under pressure, The Family that Conquered Everest is filled with powerful takeaways for anyone striving to overcome challenges and reach new heights in their own lives.
Beyond the adventure, the Mallory family’s journey is a testament to the power of teamwork, perseverance, and pushing beyond perceived limits. Their story illustrates how trust, communication, and a shared vision can turn the impossible into reality. Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast, a business leader, or someone looking for inspiration to tackle your own personal mountains, this book will leave you motivated to embrace challenges head-on and conquer whatever stands in your way.
Join Alan Mallory and his family on their extraordinary ascent as they face nature’s most unforgiving elements and prove that with determination, resilience, and the right team by your side, anything is possible!
I wasn’t sure I would enjoy a book about climbing a mountain, as I am afraid of heights and hate being cold, but I was so glad I did.
In fact, I read it in two days because I wanted to see how this family conquered Everest! Allan takes the reader with him on every step up that mountain, and the little tales from past family adventures are wonderful!
The “scuba” machine was the best! As a parent myself, I can only imagine the roller coaster of emotions Mr. Mallory went through doing this with his children.
I think my favourite thing was what Laura leaves at each summit she conquers! You go, girl!

Summits of Self
The Seven Peaks of Personal Growth
A powerful exploration of personal growth, resilience, and the pursuit of greatness—told through the lens of one of life’s most profound metaphors: mountaineering. Drawing from his own experiences, mental health struggles, and psychological strategies, Alan weaves together thrilling adventure stories with deep insights into the challenges we all face in our personal and professional lives.
Just like an expedition to the summit, life is filled with obstacles: uncertainties, fears, self-doubts, and setbacks that threaten to push us off course. But as Alan reveals, the key to success isn’t just about strength or skill; it’s about mindset, preparation, and the ability to adapt when the path gets treacherous. Whether scaling towering cliffs or navigating life’s toughest moments, the principles of endurance, strategic planning, and mental toughness remain the same.
Through real-life stories, Summits of Self explores what it takes to break through personal barriers, redefine limits, and push beyond comfort zones. Alan shares valuable lessons on leadership, decision-making, and resilience, illustrating how the mountains we climb—both literal and figurative—can shape us into stronger, more determined individuals.
The journey to the top is never a straight path. There are missteps, unexpected storms, and moments when the summit feels impossibly far away. But the lessons in this book teach us that every challenge is an opportunity for growth, every setback is a chance to recalibrate, and every step forward, no matter how small, is progress. With the right mindset, perseverance, and a willingness to embrace adversity, we can all reach new heights in our careers, relationships, and personal development.
For leaders, individual contributors, adventurers, and anyone striving for self-improvement, this book is a guide to building resilience, overcoming fear, and unlocking your full potential. Whether you’re facing challenges in the workplace, embarking on a bold new venture, or simply looking for inspiration to tackle life’s next big challenge, Summits of Self will equip you with the tools and mindset to rise above obstacles and reach your highest potential.
Embark on this transformative journey with Alan and discover how the lessons from his life studies and transformative journey can help you conquer the greatest summit of all—yourself.
If you’re looking for an inspiring, insightful, and practical resource to help you reach your highest potential, let Alan Mallory’s “Summits of Self: The Seven Peaks of Personal Growth” be your guide.
This book uses the metaphor of mountain climbing to explore the inner obstacles that each of us faces as we strive to rise above our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual limitations and reach new heights in life.
Alan shares a path to success based on current research and personal stories from his personal and professional life, including his own mental health journey.
Structured around three mountains and seven “summit” areas—self-knowledge, self-motivation, self-balance, self-regulation, self-respect, self-realization, and self-actualization—Mallory offers practical ideas to help readers get in touch with the best versions of themselves. He also provides evidence-based advice on how to tackle the challenges faced at each summit.
