Get ready for my next book - coming this winter, "Rigid Flexibility"

I have had the great pleasure of meeting many people from many walks of life. In my journey, I have met but a few who I find myself deeply challenged by the simplest of exchanges with. In fact, the number is two – one is my lifelong marital and life coach, and the other is Scott.I  was  fortunate  to  cross  paths  with  Scott  through  a  common  employer and was at once taken by his direct approach to prob-lem-solving and his passion for sourcing, shall I say, interestingly weird people and journeys. His energy, grace, and purpose are captivating, even in the most mundane moments.Unreasonable is an extraordinary account of his all-but-mundane journey  to  find  existential  meaning  and  purpose  in  climbing  some  of  the  most  challenging  and  majestic  mountains  in  the  world. As each page turns, I am met with less emphasis on the actual climb, although wildly interesting, and introduced to the complex  nuances  of  the  interpersonal  relationships  it  took  to  plan and execute each climb. The cultural and language barriers they overcome, the team relationships forged, and the physical, and often spiritual, sacrifices are honestly captured by Scott and become ubiquitous lessons applicable to the most abstruse cir-cumstances.You will be drawn to the rawness and grandeur of the adventure. You will also see method and order conflict and contrast with the messiness of the third world described in artful and conspicuous prose—a provocative bivouac to lands and altitudes foreign to most and deadly to others. As Scott returned from each climb, we  would  debrief  over  a  cup  of  coffee,  often  for  hours,  and  I  could sense that I was witness to a transformation of spirit, soul, and mind. It was so powerful that it made me a bit uneasy. That uneasiness manifested in me, challenging my own sense of adven-ture and purpose, as I hope you do. How and where you show up matters, and Unreasonable will challenge that understanding.
