Summary:
Shelby Stanger shares all she's witnessed and learned in her years covering adventurers. Her book takes you step-by-step from the first inkling of inspiration for your own wild idea through fear and self-doubt and on to the finish line. She shares stories with practical tips and tactics from world-famous rock climbers and ultra-runners, to longtime thru-hikers, surfers, desk jockeys who've figured out how to get off the clock, and even a suburban mom who started teaching women to scale frozen waterfalls in her mid-fifties. The stories show you how to get unstuck, how to pay attention to "trail signs" that point you toward your adventure, how to face your fears, and what to do when everything goes haywire (which will likely happen, never fear!). Break out of your comfort zones, get out into nature, and bring your own wild ideas to life.-- From statement provided by publisher.
