Everyone loves to read stories about overcoming obstacles. *Over, Under, Around, and Through: How Hall of Famers Surmount Obstacles *contains fifty 350-450 word stories of how women inducted into halls of fame in Colorado, across the U.S. and internationally overcame significant obstacles in their lives. They used ten skills either singly or in combination to overcome murder, murder-suicide, death of a parent, bigotry, discrimination, prejudice, incest, illness, divorce of their parents, abusive environments and much more. A diverse group of women is included across many fields of endeavor so there is someone that everyone can relate to. The ten skills include mental intelligence, emotional intelligence, social support, moral compass – spirituality, determination – perseverance – persistence, creativity, optimism, resilience, action-orientation and passion.

So this morning I said to myself, you can overcome this. I needed to read this book. It has already helped me.” People need this book. Particularly now. Everyone faces obstacles in their lives.

When I was 22, I was going through a dark moment in my life. I had to quit a job that I loved because of inappropriate actions from one of the managers and I was figuring out not only how to process that, but also figuring out who I was as a person and how to maneuver adult life. I took a seasonal job at Barnes and Noble and it was there that I saw this bright yellow book with the words, *You Are A Badass*, printed in bold on the cover. At the time, I felt like anything *but *a badass, but I picked up the book and flipped through the pages anyway.
