What do you do next if you have walked on the moon? How do you
follow the first perfect 10 in Olympic history? How do you move on
after surviving a plane crash? Some people will forever be defined
by a single moment. Chris Wright has travelled the globe tracking
down a remarkable assortment of high achievers. From the astronaut
who turned to painting to the World Cup-winning footballer who
became an undertaker, each has grappled with the challenge of
finding meaning once their fame has faded. In a series of revealing
interviews with strikingly contrasting personalities, we discover
Chuck Yeager's irascibility, John McCarthy's extraordinary
even-tempered decency, the tough practicality of Nadia Comaneci and
the fastidiously structured mind of mountaineer Reinhold Messner.
Though very different, all these oddly feted individuals have one
trait in common: after their appointment with destiny the did not
spend the rest of their lives looking backwards. No More Worlds to
Conquer explains why.
