The Best Use of a Lifetime

This book is about answering the question, "What is the best use of a lifetime?" In it, John Georgevits combines his own personal passion for rock and ice climbing with ideas from the world's great philosophers and religions to develop a framework for making the right choices in life. In five simple steps, he builds an approach that lends itself to making choices from what climbs you should be doing, to what job you should take. In doing this, he combines ideas ranging from Western rationalism to Buddhism and Zen. In addition, he goes past just making the choices to maximizing performance and understanding the consequences.
