Nick Compton had it all. A literal golden boy, to many observers it would seem that he was born to be a great in the sporting arena coming as he did from an incredible sporting ancestry.
His grandfather Sir Denis Compton played cricket for England and football for Arsenal. Honed at an elite English boarding school, with a telegenic profile perfectly suited to the modern media environment, Nick appeared to be blessed with that rare ability to be able to stride out and face down the world's quickest bowlers, to survive and thrive in the danger zone at the hands of the hurtling new ball. However, greatness in any field comes at a price and this memoir explores the almost 'Faustian pact' he made in order to secure that time in the sun.
It will show what 'Mistress Cricket' demanded from Nick as his side of that bargain.
The family he left behind, the failed relationships both personal and professional and the utter physical and mental exhaustion which resulted from his drive to stay at the top.

We are built to love. Every part of our physiology and psychology
is designed to attach with others and share our lives in deep and
meaningful ways. As social animals we need people, this is simply
our biology. But in modern life, so much has got in the way of
building healthy attachments. When it comes to our intimate
relationships, we are increasingly acting from a place of fear.
We're scared we will choose the wrong person, or the person we are
with doesn't love us enough. We're scared to get close. We're
scared to be on our own. We're scared the one we love is pulling
away. We are not securely attached. We have all been profoundly
impacted by our experiences from childhood and previous
relationships, and our need to protect ourselves can become greater
than our need to love. When we love, or try to be loved, our
history permeates our present in the most all-consuming and
powerful ways. This book will offer tools and strategies for
creating positive, secure attachments and help us create the
fulfilling and nourishing relationships we need.
