It's that time of year again. For some of us winter conjures up images of apples, popcorn, and hot chocolate served up in front of a roaring fireplace and that white stuff out the window can stay right where it is. The flip side to that idyllic picture are the hardier souls who keep checking the Weather Channel to find out when and where the best snow will be falling. If you are amongst the former group and have always wondered about the sport of skiing, then you're in the right place.

For 18 years, Ed Viesturs pursued climbing's holy grail: to stand atop the world's 14 8,000-meter peaks, without the aid of bottled oxygen. But No Shortcuts to the Top is as much about the man who would become the first American to achieve that goal as it is about his stunning quest. As Viesturs recounts the stories of his most harrowing climbs, he reveals a man torn between the flat, safe world he and his loved ones share and the majestic and deadly places where only he can go.

Only a few years ago, Alex Honnold was little known beyond a small circle of hardcore climbers. Today, at the age of 30, he is probably the most famous adventure athlete in the world. In that short time, he has proven his expertise in many styles of climbing and has shattered speed records, pioneered routes, and won awards within each discipline. More spectacularly still, he has pushed the most extreme and dangerous form of climbing far beyond the limits of what anyone thought was possible.

Power is changing. Private corner offices and management by decree are out, as is unquestioned trust in the government and media. These former pillars of traditional power have been replaced by networks of informed citizens who collectively wield more power over their personal lives, employers, and worlds than ever before. So how do you navigate this new landscape and come out on top? Adam Grant, Wharton organizational psychologist, went to the World Economic Forum in Davos, the epicenter of power, and sat down with thought leaders from around the world, to find out.

Russ Harris offers a surprising solution to low self-confidence, shyness, and insecurity: Rather than trying to "get over" our fears, he says, the secret is to form a new and wiser relationship with them. Paradoxically, it's only when we stop struggling against our fearfulness that we begin to find lasting freedom from it.

In 2009, Tiger Woods was the most famous athlete on the planet, a transcendent star of almost unfathomable fame and fortune living what appeared to be the perfect life - married to a Swedish beauty and the father of two young children. Winner of 14 major golf championships and 79 PGA Tour events, Woods was the first billion-dollar athlete, earning more than $100 million a year in endorsements from the likes of Nike, Gillette, AT&T, and Gatorade. But it was all a carefully crafted illusion. As it turned out, Woods had been living a double life for years.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 136
Geology is often thought of as simply the study of rocks. In reality, geology is the study of our planet on all scales, from microscopic to planet-wide, and ranging in time from almost instantaneous events, like earthquakes, to the glacially slow motion of the tectonic plates. Everything we know about our world from a geologic perspective is based on information locked into the rock record and the job of a geologist is to tease out that story through a wide variety of observations. This insightful course explores a range of topics that help to tell the story of Earth and to explain the discipline of Geology and the role of the geologist.

The evidence revealed in this book shows beyond reasonable doubt that an advanced civilization that flourished during the Ice Age was destroyed in the global cataclysms between 12,800 and 11,600 years ago. But there were survivors - known to later cultures by names such as "the Sages", "the Magicians", "the Shining Ones", and "the Mystery Teachers of Heaven".

Fantastic Information, So much fun to listen to
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I love this audio book because it has so many tips for skiing in various conditions. There are many safety tips as well as strategies depending on the snow conditions.
What did you like best about this story?
What I liked best was the content and the pace. It was not rushed, but not too slow. Just right. The content helped me change the way I ski to get more enjoyment. I would absolutely recommend this to a friend or anyone who wishes to have more fun skiing and less time crashing!
Which character – as performed by Mark Herlinger and Bryan Olson – was your favorite?
Mark was the perfect host, but Bryan stole the show with his expert tips and good conversation. This was a well made audio book, and I listen to it many times since purchase.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, if you have some time. I actually play this book while driving on the way to skiing. That way the techniques mentioned are fresh in my mind for whatever condition I might run into.
Any additional comments?
We are always learning and this audio book offers so much advice you must listen to it multiple times. I love this audio book.

I'm a fan of long-form conversation, but I thought this over-focused on "unlearning" what the host was taught years ago. Wanted more tips & techniques, specifics on foot & body movements.
