Main Theme
Our minds are conditioned to create chaos. They often convince us to quit long before we reach our goals. Unless we can gain awareness and interrupt these "chaos" scripts early, they will consume our thoughts and drive us towards decisions we will regret. This book will give you the ability to open your awareness, apply several tools to calm the chaos, and increase the momentum towards your goals. Regardless if you are a long-distance hiker, SOF operator, extreme athlete, first responder, medical specialist, parent, student, or just a human being, this book will enable you to tame your mind so you can savor whatever journey you find yourself on.
Background
People love the thought of breaking the shackles of their Matrix life and going for a long-distance hike. I do, too. There is something primal about strapping on a pack filled with only the necessities and going on a long walk. I think it’s coded somewhere deep inside our DNA. Hiking seems to be a perfect means to create a union between the natural world and the human soul. We were meant to be in nature, not confined to the safety and comfort of our Matrix lives. If we can become still enough, we can hear the whispers of the mountains calling us to their soil.
I became addicted to thru-hiking because it uncovered parts of me I didn’t know existed. It took me to deeper levels of awareness and fulfillment that seemed inaccessible before the experience. However, like all good things in life, this growth was only accessible through suffering and sacrifice. To absorb the true lessons in life, we must confront the main impediment standing in our way - our chaotic minds.
Stats show that roughly three out of every four thru-hikers quit their journeys short of their intended goal, and I argue it is because they couldn’t handle their chaotic minds in this new environment. This is a statistic I want to help change.
Our minds tether us to the parts of life that no longer serve us. It limits our growth and our ability to find contentment in our lives. When we are alone with our minds for hours, days, weeks, and months on trail, we fall prey to its conditioned patterns nudging us to seek safety and comfort. At the first sign of pain and struggle, our mind tries to convince us to return to our comfortable life inside the Matrix. It tries to keep us safe at the expense of our growth and fulfillment.
We must learn how to strengthen our minds so we can adapt more quickly and efficiently once our long-distance journey begins. That’s where this book comes in. It’s complementary to previous works on the mental side of long-distance hiking, but we will dive a little deeper underneath the hood to reveal why our mental struggle happens in the first place. If we can gain awareness of why these struggles happen, then we can learn to use some basic strategies to decrease the mental chaos and increase our forward momentum.
This book is not just for hikers. It’s for anyone undertaking a long-duration journey where the mind will inject itself as the biggest obstacle in our path. It could be during a military deployment, during an ultramarathon, attending a sports training camp, enduring an assessment and selection course for special operations, entering a police or military training academy, grappling with a large project at work, enduring the challenges of parenthood, or any other journey where our minds become the largest hurdle on the way to our goals.
It's time to break free of the fetters that keep you clinging to safety and comfort. It’s time to find the part of you that is waiting to be discovered. It’s time to learn how to keep pushing north towards the things you dream about but haven’t been able to reach.

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?

In 2003, software engineer David Miller left his job, family, and friends to hike 2,172 miles of the Appalachian Trail. AWOL on the Appalachian Trail is Miller’s account of this thru-hike from Georgia to Maine. Listeners are treated to rich descriptions of the Appalachian Mountains, the isolation and reverie, the inspiration that fueled his quest, and the rewards of taking a less conventional path through life. While this book abounds with introspection and perseverance, it also provides useful passages about hiking gear and planning.

It was 23 months after his accident, and Peter was still dealing with constant excruciating pain. He'd seen dozens of doctors and tried a myriad of medications, but nothing seemed to work. Faced with the impossible choice of suffering through the rest of his life, he had an unlikely epiphany, "If I could somehow hike 2,000 miles on the Appalachian Trail, then my leg will have to be better." He set a starting date three weeks out, cobbled together a novice's pack, and set off on a journey destined to change his life forever—though not exactly how he had envisioned it.

Why would a middle-aged businessman who had never even spent the night outdoors, attempt to hike the entire Appalachian Trail? Bill Walker, a former commodities trader in Chicago and London, and an avid walker, had developed a virtual obsession to hike this historic 2,175 mile footpath in one hiking season. In the spring of 2005 he set off from his home state of Georgia, hoping to make it to Mount Katahdin in northern Maine before the arrival of winter.

In 1948, the Appalachian Trail had been a continuous, 2,000-mile footpath for eleven years, but no one had walked its length alone in a continuous journey—until Earl Shaffer, a quiet Pennsylvanian, became a hiking legend and the first of what is now more than 5,500 A.T. "thru-hikers," walking from Georgia to Maine as spring arrived to each area. In 1998, he hiked again as a 50th-anniversary celebration, to far greater publicity. This is the lyrical account of his fabled 1948 walk.

Historia
Achievement often comes at a cost. Angst, restlessness, frayed relationships, exhaustion, and even substance abuse can be the unwanted side effects of an obsession with outward performance. While the high of occasional wins can keep you going for a while, playing into the always-on, never enough hustle culture ultimately takes a serious toll.

Historia
It's pernicious...it's diabolical...it creeps into every moment of our lives. It influences our relationships, impacts our physical body, works its way into our conversations, sparks non-nourishing behaviors, and forces us to do things we'd never want to do. It's infectious; it's relentless.... It's stress! We all know it. We all experience it. It's the human condition - but through this audiobook, you will learn to transcend it.

We all know that we feel starved for time, but what are we actually doing about it? Precious little. In The Art of Stopping Time, New York Times best-selling author Pedram Shojai guides us towards success with what he calls time prosperity - having the time to accomplish what you want in life without feeling compressed, stressed, overburdened, or hurried.

An Invaluable Guide
There are a ton of books about mental resiliency and a plethora of advice for people pursuing difficult tasks that essentially amounts to “Just don’t quit.”
Not quitting is an end result, not a process. This book is the how-to guide, and perfect for anyone with a fixed mindset belief that mental resiliency is a trait you either have or don’t.

Be Water
Book:
I found this book after finding ER71s YouTube channel, AFTER watching his Ones Ready interview. I originally intended to listen to this book for tips to assist me in my journey through the military. And I found what I was looking for and more. this is a book for life. From Thru Hiking to sitting in traffic, this book is a manual to over coming internal struggle. The Narrator is okay, I found myself drowning out his voice at times and had to rewind the portion that I blanked out on. Also, I had initially thought the narrator was a text to speech robot because of his seemingly inhuman enunciation. Even still I rate the book 5/5. Thank you for sharing.
Personal:
I originally looked at Mr. Free as a Cadre of a highly selective process. Now, after finishing this book (and I'm on episode 52 of his AT hike) I found that I resonate with the lessons he shares and his personality. My perspective of what it means to be in SOF has completely changed, I thought my personality wouldn't fit what they are looking for, and perhaps it doesn't, but if Mr. Free can reach the pinnacle of the career field, I don't see why I can't do a fraction of that.

Went with No expectations
Listened to this book on a train down to Georgia to start my 2024 AT NOBO thru hike. The advice shared in this book really hit home for me and made my 2197.4 mile journey easier by upping my mental game. Getting to hike the AT was such a life changing experience but starting the trail with the advice from this book really made it that more enjoyable even in the most challenging times. It’s amazing what your body will do if you’re mentally equipped to handle what lies ahead.

AT Thru-hiker Mental Preparation and Analysis
Author Trey Free, a Thru-hiker on the AT and a former Special Forces operator walks us through the mind games of long duration tasks like hiking 2,000 miles from Georgia to Maine. He uses imagery to analyze the forces which guide our actions both good and bad. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who is planning an extended event such as a Thru-hike.

Good book, helpful, duplicates Appalachian Trials.
An interesting perspective on what it takes to finish. Same content and themes as Appalachian Trials by Zach Davis, but newer and you can get this one on Audible.

Great book for anyone facing a challenge
Hiking the Appalachian Trail this year and this was exactly what I needed for the mental prep. If you are looking for a book about the trail or hiking in general this is not it. This is about the mental aspect of facing a challenge, mental, physical or both and using your mind to hack your brain and your emotions to get through the hard parts and even parts that seem impossible at the time.
