2014 International Book Awards winner, 2014 Pinnacle Book Achievement Award winner, and 2014 USA Best Book Awards finalist - Written for adventurers and non-adventurers alike, Adventure Inward's collection of quotes and insights will inspire thrill seekers and risk takers of all sorts, encouraging personal exploration and offering insights into the ultimate adventure: inward. Through his own experiences as an avid mountain climber, the author uses quotes to explore the nature of why extreme sports enthusiasts do what they do, and how their risk taking impacts them and those around them. The fifteen topics explored in Adventure Inward offer perspectives on life, death, purpose, and meaning, not just for risk takers and extreme sports enthusiasts, but for people of all walks of life."Great book with a plethora of inspirational quotes, sayings, and musings. Wunrow's clear and illuminating writing style makes this quote book easily accessible to everyone and anyone, no matter their level of "risk taking qualities. Sports enthusiasts are encouraged to read this!" - Bri Bruce, Author of The Weight of Snow.""A wonderful book. Adventure Inward does a great job of explaining may existential issues concerning life, death, and one's purpose. I would definitely recommend this book to readers who like extreme sports and also to anyone interested in contemplating life's mysteries." - Avery Griffin, Author of The Demon Rolmar."I loved this book. It is surprisingly relevant to anyone's life. A good quote can inspire, transcend, counter negative thoughts, help us dream, allow us to escape, validate our thinking and beliefs, and offer basic truths. The quotes, proverbs, and sayings Jonathan Wunrow has collected from people of all kinds during his years of mountain climbing experience can translate to life itself." - Amanda Mac, Something to Ponder About Book Reviews.
