An extraordinary spiritual memoir about the will to survive … one breath at a time
Alison Wright covered humanitarian issues with her camera until her own life was nearly cut short during a horrific bus accident with a logging truck on a remote jungle road in Laos. Suffering from excruciating life-threatening injuries, she drew upon her years of meditation practice, concentrating upon each breath, believing it to be her last.
Wright’s memoir, Learning to Breathe: One Woman’s Journey of Spirit and Survival, chronicles this inspirational story of survival and years of rehabilitation, and her ongoing determination to recover and continue traveling the world as an intrepid photojournalist. The book details her ascent of Mount Kilimanjaro as well as her circumambulation of Mount Kailash in Tibet.
Alison Wright, a social documentary photographer, has spent a career capturing the universal human spirit through her photographs and writing. For many of her editorial and commercial projects, Wright travels to all regions of the globe photographing endangered cultures and people while covering issues concerning the human condition. She was named a National Geographic Traveler of the Year as someone who travels with a sense of passion and purpose. Wright is a recipient of the 1993 Dorothea Lange Award in Documentary Photography for her photographs of child labor in Asia and was twice awarded the Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Award.
