NH, UNITED STATES, February 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Author Patrick Simiglai, a renowned ultra-endurance athlete, mental performance coach, and speaker, has released his groundbreaking book, “Fueled by Pain.” This 301-page autobiographical work blends personal development with raw storytelling, challenging readers to reframe their pain and discover the strength within.
“Fueled by Pain” is neither a sugar-coated success story nor a simple self-help guide. Instead, it presents an unflinchingly honest account of Simiglai’s transformation from a life of crime, addiction, and self-doubt to one of discipline, resilience, and achievement. Drawn from the author’s tumultuous upbringing and deep personal exploration, the book shares 23 mental techniques that helped him rebuild his life, master his inner dialogue, and take control of his future.
“This book is a testament to the idea that pain does not have to break you,” says Simiglai. “When you face it honestly, it can become the fuel that shapes discipline, character, and a stronger inner dialogue.”
Through “Fueled by Pain,” readers will dive into key themes, including:
• Rebuilding Self-Image: Overcoming past trauma to reshape one’s identity and future.
• Mastering Inner Dialogue: Turning negative self-talk into a tool for mental and emotional strength.
• Developing Unwavering Discipline: Building consistency and action without relying on fleeting motivation.
• Transforming Pain into Resilience: Using past hardships as a mirror for accountability and growth.
Simiglai pulls from personal experience, recounting his transition from a childhood marked by abuse and gang involvement to becoming an elite endurance athlete and successful entrepreneur. His vivid accounts of extreme challenges, from ultramarathons to marathon swims, provide real-world examples of how pushing past physical and mental barriers can unlock resilience.
“The most exciting part of this book is not just inspiring readers,” Simiglai shares, “but challenging them to take responsibility, act, and make meaningful changes in their own lives.”
Simiglai’s unique story has already resonated with countless individuals, and through this book, he aims to inspire even more people to confront their struggles and take control of their inner and outer worlds.
An empowering source for endurance athletes, those facing personal challenges, or individuals seeking a guide to mental toughness and transformation, “Fueled by Pain” shows the upper limits of human potential and the incredible resilience anyone is capable of developing.

From a childhood marked by abuse and neglect, I spiraled into a life of crime. The school system couldn’t hold me, and I found validation in a dangerous gang.

Inspired by the Danish Frogman Corps, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery and resilience. Step by step, I conquered my inner demons, pushed my mental and physical limits, and emerged stronger than ever.
Through extreme challenges like ultramarathons, rope climbs, and marathon swims, I uncovered parts of my mind I never knew existed. Despite battles with addiction and low self-esteem, I’ve completely transformed my life. Today, I’m a successful entrepreneur, inspiring others to find their own strength and resilience. I’ve paid off my debts, achieved incredible feats, and now serve as an ambassador for charitable organizations, supporting children who deserve a second chance.
