—

By age thirteen, I was an alcoholic—anything to numb myself from my world of emotional abuse.

That wasn’t who I wanted to be.

My dreams of adventure and exploration were so far out of reach. I’d never become Tarzan. I’d never become Jacques Cousteau.

But I was wrong.

This is my story . . .

“Jean-Philippe’s life is like the ultimate ultra-marathon, where hope, perseverance, and grit determine the outcome. I, Tarzan: Against All Odds is his story of redemption and remembrance that inspires and energizes the reader to believe that far-reaching dreams can come true. Jean-Philippe proves that your attitude determines your altitude—and high he climbs in this must-read memoir!”

Note from the author: I don’t think I’m Tarzan and this book isn’t about him either. The full meaning of the title will become clear as you read through the memoir. I, Tarzan is a real-life story about fighting doubts and adversity to find the self-confidence to believe in yourself and your dreams. It’s about grit and resilience. It’s about being your true self. It’s a memoir about life and living it to the fullest.
