Enough
A Bestselling Memoir
CROWN / PENGUIN RANDOM HOUSE · PUBLISHED 2025
This book is the honest account of what it actually costs to chase summits as a way of outrunning yourself—and what you find when you finally stop. I wrote it because I wanted to tell the full story, not the curated one. The real one.
Enough takes you to the thin air of Everest and the frozen high camps where I made my career—but it never lets you forget that the hardest climb was always the one happening inside. It is a story about failure, vulnerability, forgiveness, and what it took to stand in my own life the way I’ve stood on the highest ground on earth. It is, I believe, a story that feels like your own.
“Melissa teaches us how to reach our own personal summit by showing how she climbs on despite trauma, pain, tension, stress, doubt, and failure. She knows what it feels like to stand on top, but sharing this book and the detailed journey of how she got there is her greatest achievement.”
— DEENA KASTOR, OLYMPIC MEDALIST &
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF LET YOUR MIND RUN
“The best ‘Everest book’ I’ve read in a long time. It derives much of its considerable power from the author’s ruthless honesty.”
— JON KRAKAUER, AUTHOR OF INTO THIN AIR
“An endearing memoir about how to seize hard-fought freedom to become the best version of yourself. One cannot help but cheer her on in crossing that divide.”
