Critics Review
‘Nedd is an absolute legend with a heart of gold. His run was spectacular and all the money he raised for the homeless was incredible. What a champion.’ – Jimmy Barnes
‘Among the many athletes pushing the outer envelope of human possibility, Nedd Brockmann stands alone – a young man who exudes a unique enthusiasm for life and rare authenticity that have made him a hero to millions of people across the world. In Showing Up, Nedd shares life lessons learned from his attempt to become the fastest man to traverse Australia on foot. Relatable with a dash of self-effacing humour sure to connect with a new generation, this book is a must read for anyone looking to extend their limitations and touch greatness in all aspects of life.’ – Rich Roll, bestselling author of Finding Ultra
‘When I chose to become a mother I believed it was my job to nurture these little people to become resilient, contributing and empathetic members of society. I think this book is my report card.’ – Kylie Brockmann, Nedd’s mum
‘To double down on the present when there is only pain takes a Neddy-calibre heart. Unique lessons from a young man’s perspective.’ – Tom Hunt, close friend of Neddy
‘If you need to feel inspired and motivated, to step out of your comfort zone and see what you are truly made of, this is the book for you. Nedd is one of a kind. If only we could bottle his heart, humour, grit and determination and take a daily dose.’ – Carrie Bickmore, Australian television presenter
