Book description
Courage. When that word is uttered, more often than not it's in
connection with heroic deeds involving someone running into a burning
building to rescue someone or stepping into the line of fire to protect
a buddy. And while such selfless acts certainly reflect great courage,
there is another level of courage that lies beneath the surface waiting
to emerge. Though not as extreme, it's a critical element necessary for
successful living. In his book Courage for the Rest of Us, author,
speaker, entrepreneur, and former member of the U. S. National Bobsled
Team, Jim Eschrich explains that ultimate success and deep satisfaction
comes only when we are living life authentically and with passion. Doing
that takes courage. Circumstances, people, and life in general have ways
of keeping us locked into expectations. Whether it's in our careers,
businesses, or personal lives, it takes courage to step out from the
norm, and often against the tide, to live the life that we know deep
inside that we were meant to live. Through Jim's first hand, and often
outrageous experiences, he demonstrates what it means to reach down and
find the courage to counter the expected, release the enthusiasm, and
create defining, life-altering, moments. He shows us that ordinary
people can live extraordinary lives of passion and fulfillment. In
Courage for the Rest of Us you'll learn what it means to: Be true to
yourself, Toss the victim mentality and let your problems push you to
greatness, Take appropriate risks, Fail forward, See through your fears
to take action, Step out of your comfort zone, Execute your dreams
effectively, Create and ride the wave of momentum. Courage for the Rest
of Us is all about keeping the adventure alive in you!
