Will to Wild: Adventures Great and Small to Change Your Life

Embrace adventures both big and small and pursue your wild idea with this motivational guidebook from seasoned adventurer and podcaster, Shelby Stanger.

Shelby Stanger believes that a little dose of adventure goes a long way. As a longtime adventure journalist and the creator and host of REI Co-Op Studio's Wild Ideas Worth Living podcast, Shelby interviews newly minted adventurers to legends at the top of their game who have followed the call to wild, to get outside, and to change the trajectory of their lives. From grand mountain-climbing adventures to catching your first wave surfing or camping for the first time under the stars, everyone's call to adventure is different. What matters is that you make a bold, decisive action to make a change, embrace a wild idea, and start living a life full of intention, confidence, and exhilaration.

Moving step-by-step in your adventure journey, from the first inkling, through doubts and obstacles, and through the finish line, Will to Wild inspires you to make your wildest ideas a reality. In these pages, you will find practical tips and tactics from a mix of adventurers, some you have heard of and some you will meet, all of whom have made the leap to live more wildly. Themes cover how to get unstuck, how to pay attention to trail signs that point you toward your adventure, how to face your fears, and what to do when everything goes haywire, which will likely happen on the way. With Shelby's characteristic strength and vulnerability, alongside her collection of transformational stories, Will to Wild encourages you to break out of your comfort zone, get out into nature, and bring your own wild ideas to life.
