Adventurer, surfer, and podcaster (Wild Ideas Worth Living) Stanger has written a book for people interested in new experiences. It contains inspiring stories of former guests of her podcast embarking upon extraordinary ventures, reaching and surpassing their limits, and using solitude and curtailed resources to figure out their next phase in life and find inner peace. While most of the adventures Stanger describes are grand, she also describes small, actionable steps for people looking to warm up to larger adventures and face their fears. Much of this book focuses on people finding inner strength and taking advantage of being in nature to center themselves and find happiness and humor, even when it means taking on challenges others might consider wild.
VERDICT This inspirational book is recommended for teens and college students exploring next steps, and for anyone in need of encouragement and ideas for what their next adventure could be.
