There are not enough business books that focus on the smaller business owner/manager like this one. This book tells several stories--first there is a lot about Jim who tells his story, not as an idealized here is why I am so great style, but with humor, keen observation, and a deep sense of truth about what is real, rather than what we wish. He is a scion of a large family business, and his story is about the struggles and pitfalls that arise as a business struggles between generations. After leaving Olan Mills, Jim has gone on to work with other family and non-family businesses, and his book is from the perspective of an executive who has gone on to help and mentor others. The other attraction of the book are clear pcinciples. always illustrated with telling vignettes, about the principles that create a successful and sustainable small to medium sized family or non-family business. Jim combines strong business principles, with a sense of the personal psychological reality of running a business. I have not seen a better personal account of key practical principles for business success, in these days of sobering and tougher times.

A realistic account of an arduous journey, composed of a continuous spectrum of colorful encounters, experiences, trials and triumphs that emit the true significance of what it takes and what it means to be - Hikertrash.  Hike your own hike along with this average middle class couple as they morph into Hummingbird and Bearclaw, while chasing rainbows and attempting to pet bunnies, er marmots along the trail.

It has been a while since I read the book, but frequently amidst the events of the day - I relate back to a situation, an event, a comment. a comical insert, a life moment and continue to understand the profound significance of many parallels that reality, our everyday life experiences have with Hummingbird and Bearclaw's hike along the PCT.  From their account I Know that there is a means to get over, under, through or around whatever obstacles we face, if we throw our heart into it!  It gives incentive to keep on track.

There are certain good songs that run through one's life, but great songs run through multiple lives in similar ways. This is one of those songs.

Wow, what a nice book, a testimony that if you really want to do something, you have to go for it. It takes you with them on their voyage, with all misfortunes and also the nice things they experienced. I hate when the book is over... I'd like to go on for ever reading... very nice book.

If you're "of this era", a pilot, or served in the military, or all, it's a good read.  One can imagine the boredom, sadness, excitement, frustration that went with this job.

Encouraging personal anecdotes, retold with a healthy dose of can-do attitude and candor. I enjoyed this book, and I can identify with some of the challenges the author encountered in the early stages of running and during the first endurance events. Nice read.
