From the Publisher
Author Jonathan Sternfield approached firewalking as an outsider, as an unbiased commentator and as a professional author. He ultimately went so deep into his research on firewalking as to do it twice himself, perhaps to his own amazement. As he learned and reveals to you:
1/ Firewalking is a real and honest phenomenon, not a fraud or a trick;
2/ Although an ancient rite, it is alive and lively in the U.S.A. today;
3/ More than 100,000 Americans have firewalked in recent years (reportedly more than 23,000 in the past year);
4/ Firewalking has become a corporate management bonding exercise akin to wilderness survival outings and other management training devices;
5/ Not the rare exercise one might assume, firewalking is widespread and widely taught, approaching mainstream status as a self actualization ritual.
Sternfield has written a balanced, honest account of a little understood phenomenon. It is a highly readable source for the firewalking initiate, the prospective firewalker or the curious student and observer. It is NOT an advocacy tract (nor a deterrant one). Nevertheless, it has been acclaimed by leading firewalk instructors as the best book extant on the subject.
