Bathurst born author, keynote speaker, performance mindset and lifestyle coach, Luke Tyburski, will visit the library to talk about his powerful personal story and autobiography, Chasing Extreme.
Luke is an ex professional footballer, who now takes on some of the world’s most extreme ultra-endurance challenges. Luke’s entire life has been about performance and overcoming obstacles while dealing with setbacks to achieve his daily best. From running through the Sahara Desert, down Mt Everest, and across a tropical forest in China without food, water, or any money - Luke’s ability to deal with adversity is second to none.
Luke’s solo 2000km in 12-day Ultimate Triathlon from Morocco to Monaco not only pushed him to his physical limits, but also showcased his extraordinary resilience when things don’t go to plan.
Alongside his extreme global adventures, Luke has struggled with his mental health for many years. He has translated his personal experiences of battling depression alone for nearly a decade, overcoming an eating disorder, insomnia, and twice standing on tops of bridges not wanting to live anymore, into insightful and powerful lessons in understanding and taking care of your mental health and wellbeing.
Luke’s story will challenge you, and change how you view, think, and act each day.
