I've found a few answers since, but one question remains: In the end, what really matters? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA few fundamental truths are worth examining again and again, because we evolve and so does our understanding. When I have needed guidance, I've gone back to my mentors. The wisest of them never gave me straight answers: They asked me their own questions, and I arrived at things I never could have been told. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book is ten conversations with ten extraordinary people--Lynsey Addario, Annette Bening, Simone Biles, Yvon Chouinard, Alex Honnold, Bill King, Yo-Yo Ma, Ridley Scott, Kelly Slater, and Kristine Tompkins--each of whom has earned the exceptional life they chose to live and the understanding that has come with it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNone of them gave me rules.
