| 520 | |a Are you living with a capital "L"? When was the last time you truly felt you were your wildest, most free, most alive self? Eva zu Beck, professional storyteller and avid adventurer believes our best life is available to each of us, in every moment. But we have to seize it. The comfort we crave can also be "a silent killer of dreams." Whether your dream is to scale a foreign mountain, hike a local trail, or pick up a paint brush, Eva's message is clear: The world belongs to the brave. But it wasn't always this way: Seven years ago, Eva was a young, well-paid corporate executive living the high life in London, dressed in designer clothes with a handsome, equally successful fiancé on her arm. But as she walked down the aisle on the day of her wedding, the tears she shed were not tears of joy as their guests thought, but of a deep, unnamed sadness. Nearly a year later, Eva quit her high-paying job, left her picture-perfect marriage, and bought a one-way ticket to Nepal. What she didn't know then was that she was embarking on a seven-year journey that would take her from Mongolia's wilderness to Yemen's remote islands to the Arctic Circle--and ultimately to a life of profound meaning and purpose. This extraordinary memoir chronicles one woman's transformation from someone living society's idea of a best life to a person discovering the truth of her own. Through her experiences learning rare indigenous languages, living with remote communities, and pushing her body and spirit to their limits, Eva demonstrates that extraordinary lives aren't just for the wealthy or specially gifted--they're available to anyone brave enough to step off the beaten path and trust their heart. | ||
