Your guide: enthusiastic outdoorswoman Shelby Stanger. Shelby has been teaching folks how to leap into the unknown since she taught her first surf class over twenty years ago. Over the years, she watched many of her students quit their jobs, end dysfunctional relationships, and move across the country for a healthier work-life balance--all after spending a bit of time in nature. Shelby marveled at the phenomenon. Being outside was changing the lives of her students, her peers, and herself. Shelby was so intrigued, she began to tell their stories, first as a writer and journalist, then as a podcast host for \u003ci\u003eWild Ideas Worth Living\u003c\/i\u003e, REI Co-op Studio's flagship podcast. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith her first book, \u003ci\u003eWill to Wild\u003c\/i\u003e, Shelby shares all she's witnessed and learned in her years covering adventurers. It's the book she wishes she'd had when she'd first felt the urge to leap from familiar to wild terrain. The one that 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn these pages, discover stories with practical tips and tactics from world-famous rock climbers and ultra-runners to longtime thru-hikers, surfers, and 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. Along with Shelby's stories, they 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 never happen, never fear!). With Shelby's characteristic strength and vulnerability, \u003ci\u003eWill to Wild \u003c\/i\u003e\"is the ultimate guide for anyone looking to try something new\" (Captain Liz Clark, author of \u003ci\u003eSwell\u003c\/i\u003e) and encourages you to break out of your comfort zones, get out into nature, and bring your own wild ideas to life.
