Sinopse

Useless World Records explores the captivating world of unconventional achievements, examining the human drive behind record-breaking feats that often defy logic. Delving into the psychology and cultural significance, the book reveals that these seemingly pointless pursuits offer valuable insights into human nature. Consider, for example, the dedication required for the longest time spent hugging a tree or the skill involved in juggling with feet; these showcase a unique form of human expression.

 
The book progresses from defining "useless" world records to investigating specific categories like feats of endurance, skill-based oddities, and bizarre physical achievements. By analyzing record attempts and exploring the social context, the author highlights our capacity for dedication, creativity, and the pursuit of arbitrary goals. It distinguishes itself by taking a serious, analytical approach to a topic often treated as mere novelty, moving beyond simple amusement to explore the underlying motivations behind these unusual achievements.

    Psychologists tell us that the secret to a successful and happy life, more than anything else, is something called GRIT. Defined as the willpower to persevere with passion and a sense of purpose, research shows that grit is what matters most in whether a person succeeds or fails. 
     
     
     
    In this inspirational fable, Bob Flanagan represents the voice of old school grit. A legendary college basketball coach who thinks like John Wooden and talks like Mike Ditka, Flanagan is entering the final days of his coaching career. While his team tries to advance through the NCAA postseason tournament, Flanagan uses his last days as a coach to write his grandchildren letters revealing the rules for a successful and happy life. The rules of grit. 
     
     
     
    Though Coach Flanagan's letters are intended for his grandchildren, they might as well be for America in general. This is a man who lives by the old school code of faith, family, courage, and character; and he believes too many people have gone soft these days. They give up on their dreams too easily. They whine, complain, and pass the blame. They spend all their time and energy trying to avoid challenges instead of bucking up and powering through them. Flanagan's letters are a rallying cry for toughening up and building grit. His fifteen rules provide a clear path to success in any endeavor.

    The St. Croix River is a 169-mile ribbon of blue that cleaves the land between Minnesota and Wisconsin. Exploring the St. Croix River Valley provides a tour of the St. Croix Riverway and its 8,000-square-mile watershed. Environmental educator Angie Hong recommends specific places to explore the varied habitats and shows us myriad ways to get out and enjoy by hiking, paddling, biking, skiing, fishing, and more. As she travels from headwaters to tributaries, Hong takes in the Arcola High Bridge (with a side of freshwater mussel lore), searches for the perfect lakeside supper club, and talks to wildlife pros and volunteers restoring prairies, oak savanna, streams, and woodland habitats. 
     
     
     
    With stops at Standing Cedars Community Land Conservancy, Sunfish Lake Park, and the Chequamegon–Nicolet National Forest, listeners will learn about the landscape and its history—groundwater geology and riverside land formations, ephemeral wildflowers and forests lost to logging—and the local fauna such as skinks and osprey, red-headed woodpeckers, grouse, and elk.
