The Man Who Tried to Prove Too Much

In The Man Who Tried to Prove Too Much, Philip Hills provides an unflinching account of what it takes to reflect on one's life and achievements. Philip Hills had an unquenchable thirst for success. Always driving forwards without stopping to reflect, Philip was blissfully unaware that he was fuelled by past hurts and fears. Until the day his life changed forever. Diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, Philip sets course for the biggest journey of his life: a reckoning with his past that becomes a powerful tool for healing, not just for Philip but for those around him, too. In this beautifully honest and soul-searching book, Philip looks back on a life motivated by a dream and a deep drive, and asks us to reflect on the true meaning of success and self-fulfilment.
