Description

You don't have to be a CEO to dive, soar or speed through Jim Clash's book. Forget the title, this is not a business book, it's a treasure of tales for the ultimate X-gamer, or for anyone who dreams of scaling a mountain, racing a car or soaring into space. Clash doesn't just write about people living on the edge, he is one of them! He shares his eye-popping adventures, from driving an Indy race car at 200 mph to flying to the edge of space, with an understated style that offers no exaggerated superlatives of his experiences or achievements. He writes "matter of fact -- with impact," taking you to the most remote and breathe-taking (literally) locales on and above the planet. He lets you see for yourself the magnificent vistas he's seen, and takes you inside the minds and emotional motors of the people driven to excel and exceed the limits of our world. If you dream of going where you've never dared, this is the book to light your inner fire.
