Sinopse

Discover the hidden world of those who live—and sometimes die—on the edge. Daredevils: Unmasking the Addicted Risk-Taker plunges into the heart of risk-taking addiction, revealing how an innocent thrill can spiral into a life-consuming compulsion.Ever wondered why some people scale skyscrapers without ropes, race motorcycles at breakneck speed, or chase hurricanes for a shot of adrenaline? In Daredevils, you’ll uncover:The Science of the RushHow brain chemistry transforms everyday moments into powerful highs—and why our own reward pathways can trap us in a cycle of craving, tolerance, and withdrawal.Case Studies & Real-World ExamplesAnonymized, first-hand accounts—from rooftop parkour to storm chasing—show how weekend diversions morph into full-blown addictions, complete with close calls and hard lessons.Warning Signs & Self-ChecksPractical tools like the Risk–Reward Scale, Urge–Outcome Diary, and Life-Balance Audit help you spot subtle red flags—obsession, escalation, withdrawal—and honestly measure your own relationship with danger.The Hidden CostsBeyond bruises and broken bones lie the emotional fallout, strained relationships, legal entanglements, and chronic anxiety that follow unmanaged risk.Why Some Are More VulnerableExplore how genetic predispositions, personality traits like sensation-seeking and impulsivity, and environmental triggers—especially in adolescence—fuel a dangerous appetite for extremes.Treatment & RehabilitationDive into evidence-based pathways: from cognitive-behavioral and dialectical therapies to immersive rehab programs that rebuild balance through controlled adventure, group support, and skill-building.Alternative Therapies & Personal Recovery StoriesBe inspired by creative outlets—art, music, nature immersion—and moving tales of triumph from those who’ve rewritten their futures, channeling their need for novelty into life-affirming pursuits.Prevention & Healthy AlternativesArm yourself with strategies to intercept early warning tremors and redirect urges into structured sports, high-intensity interval training, mindful practices, and community service—proving true exhilaration can exist without courting catastrophe.Filled with cutting-edge research, relatable insights, and a supportive first-person voice, Daredevils doesn’t just explain the biology and psychology of risk addiction—it empowers you to reclaim your freedom. You’ll gain the clarity to safeguard your well-being, the tools to help loved ones break free, and a new vision of adventure grounded in balance and purpose.Don’t let the next adrenaline craving control your life. Step back from the brink, seize control of your story, and discover how to thrive beyond the edge. Grab Daredevils: Unmasking the Addicted Risk-Taker today!

    From basic tenets of training to nutrition guidelines, this is the first resource for runners to fully integrate nutrition with training for a complete and systematic pre-race plan. “A must for marathoners”(Library Journal). 
     
    Every year, roughly 2 million people participate in marathons and half marathons in the United States, and, no matter what level they are, every one of these runners has likely hit “The Wall,” running out of muscle fuel in the final miles and slowing down precipitously. This setback and  
    other common running disappointments are nutritional (or metabolic) in nature. In The New Rules, renowned fitness journalist and training coach Matt Fitzgerald cuts through the myths, distilling the most up-to-date science to help runners overcome the universally experienced nutritional  
    barriers that prevent success in the marathon and half marathon. 
     
    Fitzgerald’s powerful and easy-to-use tools will enable runners of all levels to attain their ideal racing weight, calculate their precise daily energy needs, and formulate a custom nutrition plan.

    A sport-loving college freshman, Kerry Hellmuth commits instantly to riding in the first women's Little 500 race at her first dorm floor meeting. Only later does she learn what the Little 500 is--a bicycle race around a cinder track pitting dorm teams against independents and sororities--and how much riding in the historic first edition of the race will enrich her college experience. Led by two RAs, Hellmuth and her dorm team of motivated and scrappy athletes begin training indoors and on long rides through the beautiful rolling hills of South Central Indiana, sometimes so intensely that they lose their lunch or finish in tears. Along the way, they come of age together, navigating the passage from their respective family lives into adulthood. Hellmuth finds herself and she even finds love with a handsome teammate. Willkie Sprint is the inspiring true story of that year of wonder and challenge. 
    The team's plucky freshman dream of glory despite the sense that no one can beat the upper-class(wo)men from the sorority team whose historic attempt to qualify for the men's event helped bring the women's edition into existence. The closer they become, the better the teammates perform on their bikes. Will the rag-tag Willkie underdogs pull off the Cinderella story? You will love witnessing the unbreakable bonds that emerge between these richly painted team members, be entertained by their lively discussions as they pedal, be awed by their dedication and perserverance, and be inspired by their triumphant approach to racing and life.  
    "With heart and humor, Kerry Hellmuth shares her cycling team's journey to victory in the inaugural Women's Little 500 ― from their kick-off meeting to their final lap. This coming-of-age memoir is a powerful story about perseverance, unbreakable friendships, falling in love, and learning who you are."―Sheryl Sandberg, former COO of Meta, and Founder of LeanIn.org/OptionB.org

    Ultrarunner Jen Scotney has achieved podium finishes in some of the UK's toughest races and now has her sights firmly set on the Pennine Way. In Running Through the Dark, Jen talks about her ambitions, not just to run the 268-mile Pennine Way but to take the record as the fastest woman to do so. But that didn't happen. Nothing went according to plan. The Jen the world knew was a successful lawyer and running coach – all photoshoots and finish-line smiles – but the truth was much darker. The real Jen Scotney, the one she hid from everybody, suffered with chronic fatigue, debilitating injuries, tragedy, grief and at times had a will so beaten down by setbacks that there just didn't seem any point in going on.
    But she did go on. Running Through the Dark is Jen's account of her ultra-journey. Playing out on the moors of the Pennines, the fells of the Lake District and the mountains of Wales and Scotland, this is much more than a running book, it is a story about resilience, about never giving up, and about battling through the night and always believing that there will be a new dawn.
