Have you dreamed of an adventure, maybe just outside your comfort zone, but didn’t know how to begin? Do you enjoy learning how “normal” people do extraordinary things and what insights they learn on their journeys?
Come hear author, professor, and adventurer James Nehring explain how everyone, regardless of age or ability, can experience the thrills and personal empowerment of a challenge met. Learn how you can create and complete your dream adventure on your own terms!
Jim will share exciting stories from his journeys—cross-country cycling, coastal rowing, and long-distance trekking—along with photos and dramatic excerpts from his new book, Everest and the Rest of Us: Four Journeys in Search of Adventure. This program is interactive, so feel free to share your own adventure stories or dreams—and if you’d prefer to simply listen, you’re warmly welcome to do that too.
James will also have books available for purchase and signing at the end of the program.
**All proceeds benefit the Prescott Community Center.**
James Nehring loves a good adventure, and he doesn't let his fear of heights, risk, and speed get in the way. Lacking a trust fund, corporate sponsors, and a death-defying disposition, he pursues the kind of adventures available to most people reading this blurb, people who love thrills, uncertainty, physical and mental challenges, but on their own terms. An author of seven previous books, he has appeared on National Public Radio and CNN. A former high school teacher and professor at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, he lives in central Massachusetts with his wife, Laurie, and two cats standing in for three kids who've flown the coop. When he's not teaching, you can find him outdoors on his bike or trekking through the woods just a few steps from his kitchen door.
