From selecting the right crampons and poles to understanding mountain weather patterns, the book unveils the secrets to safely and efficiently navigating icy terrain.

    Are you tired of feeling things? Do you want to stop caring about life’s endless nonsense? Congratulations—you’re ready for Stoicism. 
    Life is a relentless parade of disasters, disappointments, and idiots who won’t shut up. And yet, most people spend their days panicking, complaining, and overreacting—wasting precious energy on things they can’t control. A true Stoic? They sip their coffee in complete silence while the world crumbles around them. 
    This book will teach you the fine art of emotional detachment so that nothing—not traffic, not heartbreak, not even the impending collapse of civilization—can shake you. 
    Inside, You’ll Learn: 
    💀 How to wake up every morning knowing that today will be a mess—and being fine with it 
    💀 The “Meh” response system for handling everything from job loss to bad WiFi 
    💀 Why material things are pointless (but also, let’s be real, heated car seats are amazing) 
    💀 How to pretend to listen while mentally escaping to Ancient Rome 
    💀 How to master the blank, expressionless stare that makes people deeply uncomfortable 
    💀 Why billionaires would be happier living in a cave (but you still need rent money, so don’t do that) 
    💀 The nightly ritual of contemplating death so you can sleep like a sociopath 
    This is not a self-help book. This is a self-detachment book. If you’re ready to become an unshakable force of calm indifference, to stop letting life stress you out, and to fully embrace the Stoic art of not giving a single damn, this is the book for you. 
    ☠️ WARNING: Reading this book may cause: 
    ✔️ A total loss of interest in pointless drama 
    ✔️ An inability to react to nonsense, even when expected to 
    ✔️ People wondering if you’re deeply enlightened or just emotionally broken

    The moving story of the author’s adopted Rottweiler mix, Lou, a free-thinking heroic dog who changed his life forever.“Lou’s story is an emotional and deeply delt tribute to the powerful bond between dogs and humans. Last Dog on the Hill will make you long for that one special superdog that can truly change your life. We should all be so lucky to have a dog like Lou in our world.” —Garth Stein, author of The Art of Racing in the RainBorn of guard dogs on a secret marijuana farm in Mendicino County, California, Lou truly was one dog in a million. On the winter day that the ailing, tick-infested feral pup was rescued by Steve Duno, neither dog nor man had a clue as to what they were getting into . . .Last Dog on the Hill tells the story of an indigent young Rottweiler mix who went on to change the lives of hundreds of dogs and people, including the author's, whose career as a pet behaviorist was made possible through Lou's extraordinary intelligence and heart. Lou won the respect of gang members, foiled an armed robbery, caught a rapist, fought coyotes and kidnappers, comforted elderly war veterans and Alzheimer patients in their final days, taught ASL to kids, learned scores of unique behaviors and tricks, amassed a vocabulary of nearly 200 words, and helped rehabilitate hundreds of aggressive dogs, saving them from euthanasia. Lou was also a clown, a consummate performer, and Steve’s best friend for sixteen years. His inspiring story will resonate with anyone who has ever loved a dog.“Last Dog on the Hill is a wonderful mixture of humor, heartbreak, and high jinks. I couldn’t put it down. Lou will steal your heart.” —Janet Evanovich, New York Times–bestselling author of the Stephanie Plum series
