Isolated by Mexico's deadly Copper Canyons, the blissful Tarahumara Indians have honed the ability to run hundreds of miles without rest or injury. In a riveting narrative, award-winning journalist and often-injured runner Christopher McDougall sets out to discover their secrets. In the process, he takes his readers from science labs at Harvard to the sun-baked valleys and freezing peaks across North America, where ever-growing numbers of ultra-runners are pushing their bodies to the limit.

This was a great read. Rarely do I pull into my driveway and sit and listen for a little bit longer, but with this book I couldn't walk away. I only wish it were longer. I also wish the writer had more titles.

Something scary is happening to boys today. From kindergarten to college, they are less resilient and less ambitious than they were a mere 20 years ago. Fully one-third of men ages 22 to 34 are still living at home with their parents, about a 100 percent increase in the past 20 years. Boys nationwide are increasingly dropping out of school; fewer are going to college. Family physician and research psychologist Dr. Leonard Sax presents practical solutions.

An absolute must read.
Revisado: 10-28-09
A must read. All parents, teachers and boys that want to be men should read this book. It's tools that separate us from the animals. This book is the tool that can make us better parents and better teachers to those that follow.

great story, great people.
Revisado: 10-28-09
I was touched by the lose and sacrifice of all those that fought in this war. The individual stories put a face and a name to what is best in all of us. From story to story, by the end I understood better the words "courage" and "duty".

This story touched me in many ways. The authors ability to weave research, legend and a darn good story carried me away as if in a dream. I loved this book.

This book and the author are an insiration. The author not only understands the Universe, but he tried to help me see what he sees. Even if only for a minute I was hooked.

This book lacked substance. It should have been condensed into a ten minute podcast.

I've read bits and pieces of the contributions many women made at the founding of this Country. It was nice to see more of them in one place. I listened, & then bought the book for later reference.
