Gnar country: growing old, staying rad
(Book)
An expert in human performance describes his experience pushing his own aging body past preconceived limits in a quest to become an expert skier at age fifty-three.
"The New York Times bestselling author and human performance expert tests his knowledge and theories on his own aging body in a quest to become an expert skier at age fifty-three." -- inside front jacket flap.
Cutting-edge discoveries in embodied cognition, flow science, and network neuroscience have revolutionized how we think about peak performance aging. On paper, these discoveries should allow older athletes to progress in supposedly "impossible" activities. To see if theory worked in practice, Kotler conducted his own ass-on-the-line experiment in applied neuroscience and later-in-life skill acquisition: He tried push his own aging body past preconceived limits. Here he takes us on his punk rock, high-velocity joy-ride for a better life in spite-- and often in defiance of-- the perceived limitations of the aging human body. -- adapted from jacket
