Acerca de esta escucha
“You don’t have to engage in extreme sports or have a near-death experience on a mountain to appreciate the exhilaration of a heightened consciousness. You can simply listen to this amazing audio version of one of my favorite books by Rob Schultheis, a poetic adventurer who perfectly captures the ecstasy of living outside the 'everyday blather' of our lives. Brian Sutherland is the perfect narrator and guide for this journey to a place where we go beyond our limitations and find ‘a taste of heaven'.” (Judy Muller, Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist and professor emerita, USC Annenberg School of Journalism)
Extreme physical effort, especially when coupled with risk and deprivation, has been known to produce strong effects in people. These range from "runner's high" or being "in the zone" to far more mystical experiences: visions, hallucinations, and superhuman performance.
Bone Games is the story of Rob Schultheis' exploration of this strange terrain - the altered states of consciousness that can be an elusive product of extreme sports. He finds the paranormal in rock climbing, mountaineering, ultrarunning, kayaking, climbing and hang gliding. He finds the spiritual in accounts of Arctic explorers and shipwreck victims. And he finds deep parallels in shamanistic practices and Zen Buddhism.

The Hidden West is a memorable account of one man's journey through terra incognita - secret places that still exist in the American West. Among the mysterious and beautiful places through which the author travels are the Colorado Plateau, the sacred Navajo mountain, the Indian holy grounds in the Badlands, the sand hills of Nebraska, Mono Lake, and the largest canyon in the world, the Barranca del Cobre in northern Mexico.

Drawing on over a decade of research and first-hand reporting with dozens of top action and adventure sports athletes like big wave legend Laird Hamilton, big mountain snowboarder Jeremy Jones, and skateboarding pioneer Danny Way, Kotler explores the frontier science of “flow”, an optimal state of consciousness in which we perform and feel our best.

Many famed music producers are known for a particular sound that has its day. Rick Rubin is known for something else: creating a space where artists of all different genres and traditions can home in on who they really are and what they really offer. He has made a practice of helping people transcend their self-imposed expectations in order to reconnect with a state of innocence from which the surprising becomes inevitable. Over the years, he has learned that being an artist isn’t about your specific output, it’s about your relationship to the world.

In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

The real stories behind the scenery of America’s national parks. For 12 years, Andrea Lankford lived in the biggest, most impressive national parks in the world, working a job she loved. She chaperoned baby sea turtles on their journey to sea. She pursued bad guys on her galloping patrol horse. She jumped into rescue helicopters bound for the heart of the Grand Canyon. She won arguments with bears. She slept with a few too many rattlesnakes. Hell yeah, it was the best job in the world! Fortunately, Andrea survived it.

The biggest paradox in golf is that the harder you try to hit the ball, the worse you do so. In The Keys to the Effortless Golf Swing, Michael McTeigue offers you a simple system of sequential body movements that produces a true swinging motion with every club in the bag. The result is increased distance and greater accuracy for all sizes, shapes, and ages of golfers for a minimum investment in learning time.

Derick Lugo had never been hiking. He certainly couldn't imagine going more than a day without manicuring his goatee. But with a job cut short and no immediate plans, this fixture of the New York comedy scene began to think about what he might do with months of free time. He had heard of the Appalachian Trail, but he had never seriously considered attempting to hike all 2,184.2 miles of it. Suddenly he found himself asking, Could he do it?

When Edmund Hillary first conquered Mt. Everest, Sherpa Tenzing Norgay was at his side. Indeed, for as long as Westerners have been climbing the Himalaya, Sherpas have been the unsung heroes in the background. In August 2008, when eleven climbers lost their lives on K2, the world’s most dangerous peak, two Sherpas survived. They had emerged from poverty and political turmoil to become two of the most skillful mountaineers on earth. Based on unprecedented access and interviews, Buried in the Sky reveals their astonishing story for the first time.

reads like a novel
I was expecting this to sound like a non-fiction book (which it is), but it sounds like a novel (which I, regrettably, despise). Read Born to Run instead :)

Ahead of its Time
Released in the 80's, Bone Games touches on extreme sports, the boundaries of consciousness and flow states way before they hit mainstream thought. In Bone Games, Rob Schultheis explores the benefits and effects of running through extreme conditions when many were first discovering the joys of jogging on roads. Through the present lense, the Bone Games may seem like old hat, but through the lense of time it's revolutionary. Anyone interested in adventuring, extreme running or flow states will enjoy this.
Bonus for Fight Club fans, keep an eye out for the "brass on titanic" quote.
