Standing on the Shoulders: Incredible Heroes and How They Inspire Us

Product Information

Also production were a fabulous input into this pairing and I now understand why Rose has been so praising of Strictly - Sarah James was a great force between the two of them and made sure Rose felt supported every step of the way and probably why Rose would’ve agreed to do another 10 weeks in a heartbeat if she had the chance! Think that’s a real testament how much she enjoyed the whole experience given how much she was pushing herself every week and not only the mentality of being the ‘deaf poster girl’ but also the physical challenge her body underwent too! I don’t want to spoil it for anyone who seemingly hasn’t read it - I just wanted to discuss it with people who had and their thoughts on it!

Dan has gone and done it again, thoroughly recommended! He admits himself the themes in this book are very similar to his first. You don't have to have read Remarkable People to enjoy this book but if you have you will find updates on a good number of the folks mentioned. These adverts enable local businesses to get in front of their target audience – the local community. As one of the UK’s leading journalists, Dan has made it his life work to focus on people who often act as the catalysts for change: the unheralded champions who frequently go without getting the recognition they deserve. The new audiobook from the author of the bestselling Remarkable People contains a totally fresh batch of humble heroes whose actions, bravery and determination have helped shape their communities.

Customer reviews

Not only a great insight into her relationship with her mum and what a (obvious!) supporter she is of her daughter but also a really good insight into the Rose & Gio relationship. It really made me appreciate Rose even more given what a strenuous few opening weeks she had (she quite rightly never let on) and how much Gio pushed her to be the version of herself only he could see at the time. I also have to congratulate Gio for all the thought he put into the CC routine & never accepting the ‘cheats’ route of how he gets out of that silent moment also not hearing the music alongside Rose. The chapter wraps up with some reflections on what they both took away from that series of Strictly. Nadiya's final comment:

History can be cruel and forgetful to those who don’t shout about their own success or good deeds, but 'Standing on the Shoulders' is a celebration of ordinary people and the extraordinary things they do.
