Hike Your Own Hike: 7 Life Lessons from Backpacking Across America is about Francis Tapon's thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail and what the adventure can teach you about life. You'll start in Maine and walk to Georgia, picking up seven lessons along the way. Each lesson is neatly woven into the fabric of the story. This true story combines the desire to reorient one's life with an exciting tale of adventure and a bit of humour. It's about 75% self-help and 25% trail narrative. It is not a book about how to backpack, but rather how to live. Who would enjoy this book? Anyone who: loves reading outdoor adventure books; has a good life, but wants to have an amazing one; wants to learn more about the Appalachian Trail; dislikes preachy self-help books, but doesn't mind getting some useful ideas presented in a light tone; is stuck in a rut and is looking for some inspiration to make important changes; likes to support starving writers. Unlike the typical self-help book, Hike Your Own Hike: provides an entertaining, flowing tale as a backdrop; draws all its lessons from the adventure of walking the entire Appalachian Trail; doesn't take itself so darn seriously! Unlike the typical travelogue, Hike Your Own Hike: is not all about the author, it's about what YOU can get out of the story; delivers practical ideas that help you squeeze more out of life; recounts a challenging southbound thru-hike versus the typical northbound thru-hike (less than 10% hike southbound). The book has two colour maps, including an ultra-cool 3-panel foldout map of the Appalachian Trail! The AT will teach you the Seven Principles on how to get the most out of life: 1. Hike Your Own Hike. 2. Beware of Summit Fever. 3. Hike with Passion. 4. Learn from Trail Lore. 5. Eat Well, Walk Hard, and Sleep Soundly. 6. Perform Trail Magic. 7. The Hike is Too Important to Take Seriously. Each chapter in the book is devoted to each concept. Chapter One starts in Maine where Francis Tapon learned the First Principle. Chapter Seven ends in Georgia where he learned the Seventh Principle.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.

Francis Tapon is a public speaker, world traveller, and life coach. He has travelled to over 75 countries. He was born and raised in San Francisco. He is a first-generation American, born of a French father and a Chilean mother. He has a degree in Religion from Amherst College and an MBA from Harvard Business School.
Francis Tapon knew he had a good life he had a great career, fantastic friends, a nice home, and a cool electric shaver. However, something was missing. His life was good, but not great. It was quite predictable and safe, but thoroughly uninspiring. He wondered how to take his life to the next level.He thought it would be smart to do what the sages do: hang out in the woods for several months and get some wisdom. Although he ultimately found wisdom, finding it wasn t as easy or as romantic as all those spiritual books say it is. They neglect to mention that during the hot humid summer months there s no air conditioning in the woods.Hike Your Own Hike balances the story of an adventurous and insightful trip across the Appalachian Mountains with practical advice on how to squeeze the most out of life both on and off the trail. It s enlightening, educational, and entertaining. It s a serious book that doesn t take itself so seriously. Hiking the entire Appalachian Trail in one season has soared in popularity over the last 20 years. Compared to 1985, there are eight times more people trying to thru-hike it! What accounts for this phenomenon? Today people are overly stressed and need a break to return to the fundamentals. Feeling disconnected from the rhythms of life, hikers go on these multi-month trails to recalibrate their perspective.Hike Your Own Hike is about this incredible pilgrimage, what we can learn from it, and how to enrich our lives without getting too muddy. Francis Tapon s book is a marvelous addition to the very best outdoor and personal development books available. Against the backdrop of a rich and unique journey along the Appalachian Trail, Hike Your Own Hike offers the reader a wealth of practical how-tos blended masterfully with the wisdom of the ages. This isn't another boring hiking guidebook, it s a wonderful guidebook for life. Kim and Demetri Coupounas, Co-Founders, GoLite
