Summary:

John Volanthen is a legendary British cave-diver and one of the two-man team who discovered and rescued the Wild Boars soccer team from the sunken cave in Tham Luang, Thailand. Thirteen Lessons that Saved Thirteen Lives is the deeply revealing and nail-biting account of that incredible rescue. Each chapter tells one part of the story from Tham Luang but also imparts a life lesson, gleaned from John's exploration and rescue efforts, that can be applied to everyday obstacles and challenges. We are in the cave with John and his story of how an average guy can do the unimaginable will inspire the superhero in us all.
