Paperback. "I loved delving into the deeper meanings of our search for new, challenging experiences. It's a unique and fascinating adventure tale. 5 stars!" -Joan Griffin, author of Force of Nature: Three Women Tackle the John Muir TrailAn epic bike ride across the United States turns nearly to tragedy. A rowing journey along the East coast through storms and tidal surges tests physical and mental limits and forces a reckoning with life's priorities. A five-hundred-mile pilgrimage across northern Spain triggers personal and spiritual renewal.What happens when a part-time adventurer takes the progressive ideas that defined his career as a teacher-real world problem solving, expeditionary learning, following your passion-and turns them on himself?Everest and the Rest of Us: Four Journeys in Search of Adventure delivers an exciting, three-part tale of cross-country cycling, coastal rowing, and trekking on the Camino de Santiago, by turns suspenseful and comic, painful and triumphant. The fourth journey? Examining why we pursue adventure-pushing our limits, the thrill of taking risks and facing danger, renewal that comes from stepping outside our daily routines, personal empowerment from a challenge met-and exploring the gendered and racialized history of adventure.Most of us will never climb Mt. Everest, surf a fifty-foot monster wave off Hawaii, or row single-handedly across the Atlantic Ocean. But everyone loves a good adventure. Everest and the Rest of Us celebrates the adventurous spirit in us all! With page-turning excitement, Nehring describes an epic bike ride, a rowing journey, and a 500 mile pilgrimage. His fourth journey tackles why we pursue adventure, its racialized history, and celebrates the adventurous spirit in each of us. This item is printed on demand.

"I loved delving into the deeper meanings of our search for new, challenging experiences. It's a unique and fascinating adventure tale. 5 stars!" -Joan Griffin, author of Force of Nature: Three Women Tackle the John Muir Trail
What if the adventures that define you don't require a summit, a world record, or a perfect plan? What if all they require is stepping up?
James Nehring cycles four thousand miles across North America, rows a boat he built in his garage down the East Coast, and walks five hundred miles with the pilgrim community on the Camino de Santiago. These are not superhuman feats. That's exactly the point.
Between journeys, this true-life memoir digs into who gets to call themselves an adventurer and why. This heartfelt and retrospective journey through midlife resilience challenges everything you assume about what counts as brave, weaving personal growth with honest questions about outdoor equity and belonging.
For readers drawn to non-fiction adventure stories rooted in real life, this walking, cycling, and small boat adventure memoir delivers something rare: proof that ordinary challenges transform real lives.
If you've ever felt the pull of something difficult and wondered whether your version of adventure counts, this book is for you.
