Ben Barbic — Author of Rise & Climb

 

The process of writing Rise & Climb took over eight years—but in truth, the story has been unfolding for a lifetime.

 

Ben Barbic is an artist, athlete, and spiritual warrior from the Bay Area of California. He’s also a man who’s lived the highs and lows of transformation firsthand. From childhood trauma and losing his home multiple times, to battling addiction, rebuilding his life, and emerging with clarity, strength, and purpose—Rise & Climb is the raw, unfiltered account of what it takes to truly evolve.

 

The book began as scribbled notes, late-night reflections, and journal entries written between music sessions, trail runs, and fatherhood. Over time, those scattered pieces turned into something deeper: a blueprint for rising with intention, climbing past limitations, and living from truth.

 

Ben didn’t write this book to impress anyone. He wrote it to survive—and then to serve.

Rise & Climb is a story about grit, pain, rebirth, and the sacred power of choosing growth—even when it hurts.

 

It’s not a memoir.

It’s not a self-help book.

It’s a movement

For anyone ready to rise.
