  Ultramarathon Man: Confessions of an All-Night Runner helped introduce the world to ultramarathoning. Now, after three decades of running ultramarathons across the globe, Dean Karnazes is still going strong. This updated and revised edition includes an afterword full of the lessons he’s picked  
  up along the way. He gives personal details on the essential pillars of health—fitness, diet, and sleep.  
   
  What does he eat, what supplements does he take, and what kind of mattress does he sleep on? Aging well takes work, and the man who hasn’t stopped is sharing the tips and learnings that have kept him going, mile after grueling mile. 
   
  Ultramarathon Man is Karnazes’ story: the mind-boggling adventures of his nonstop treks through the shoe-melting inferno of Death Valley, the lung-freezing ferocity of the South Pole, and the awe-inspiring beauty of the towering peaks and craggy canyons of the Sierra Nevada. 
   
  With an insight and candor rarely seen in sports memoirs, he reveals how he navigates the solitary, manic, self-absorbed life of extreme ultrarunning with a full-time job, a wife, and two children, and how running has made him who he is today: a man with an ironclad body, a teenager’s energy, and a  
  champion’s wisdom.

  What would you do if you only had five years left to live? For some, this is a tragic reality, for most, it’s a question they will never be forced to answer. Luke Richmond asks this question often, not from morbid curiosity, but to ensure he is filling his days with value and living life with no regrets. The awareness of a finite reality has taken Luke from a small town in rural Australia, into the harshest and most challenging environments on Earth. After serving in the Army, Luke has summited some of the highest peaks, set world records rowing across oceans, dragged a cart through the Gobi Desert, and leapt from cliffs in the adrenalin-fuelled world of B.A.S.E Jumping. These adventures are just a few of the answers Luke discovered when he asked himself this life changing question. 
  Join him in his third book, Five Years to Live, as he takes you further into the unknown and pedals a tiny boat from Thailand to Sri Lanka, climbs Himalayan peaks in Nepal, and journeys through the vast Australian outback on a bicycle. His persistent desire to see what is over the horizon will also lead you into the desert in search of hidden treasure, onto a raft down the wild Franklin River in Tasmania, on foot along the Larapinta Trail, and riding a surfboard as he attempts to tame the ultimate wave along Australia’s east coast.  
   Whether you’re an armchair traveller or a fellow thrill-seeker, this memoir is a must-read for anyone who dreams of embarking on their own epic journey of freedom and self-discovery.

  "Galeeb Kachra truly is one of a kind. A unique combination of optimism, can-do determination and relentless energy, he has the wiliness and moral integrity required to shake up sclerotic systems and sweep away logjams. His detailed account of five projects that mattered intensely to him, which did their little bit to make the world a better place, is sprinkled with humour and charmingly idiosyncratic, while packed with serious intent."  
  -- Michela Wrong, March 2021, author of "It's Our Turn to Eat: the Story of a Kenyan Whistleblower." 
  From the author: 
  Do you want to help achieve change, but don't know how? Other books don't give you practical examples that are within your own reach. This book showcases real cases, based on Galeeb's international experience. It covers disaster preparedness, anticorruption, youth empowerment, judicial reform, book bans, and procurement reform. Be motivated to find a way of helping others whatever your specific interests and technical skills.
