Cory Richards on Climbing Mountains, Wrestling with Mental Health, Owning Up to His Past

Cory Richards on Climbing Mountains, Wrestling with Mental Health, Owning Up to His Past

Writing is not what Cory Richards is best known for. No, that would be feats like being the first American to climb one of the 14 peaks in the world measuring over 8000 meters. He’s also known for his photography, which includes National Geographic covers. But Cory’s new book, The Color of Everything: A Journey to Quiet the Chaos Within, isn’t just about his accomplishments, it’s about his struggles too. He tells us about the violence in his home growing up, his bipolar II diagnosis and depression, and about cheating on his wife and being held accountable for inappropriate behavior.
