hardcover. first edition. 8vo 311pp. stated first edition. includes two pamphlets laid in, one for "Productive Risk-Taking" a seminar led by RALPH KEYES, and a pamphlet for the book itself. from front flap: "When was the last time you really took a risk? Was it thrilling, scary, or both? Do you envy others who summon the courage to take a chance on what you'd never try? Whatever risk actually means to you--whether it's doing something for sheer adventure or making a life-altering decision--you may suspect that you play it much too safe. Chancing It confronts the issue of why we so often feel that way as it takes a provocative, in-depth look into the psychological and physical thirst we all have--whether we indulge it or not--to take risks." #01716. Book VG+: clean, tight, unmarked text, author inscription on title page: "For Glo + Bill, Who made it possible to spend a good afternoon with colleagues. May all of your risks be good ones Ralph Keyes" DJ VG: age toning/rubbing, NOT clipped ($15.95). Seller Inventory # 1653
