Summary | "For nearly 80 years, Yvon Chouinard has followed his own advice, pursuing, with equal fervor, sport adventures, business excellence and environmental activism. Since 1950, he has captured the lessons and revelations heâs learned in articles and books, personal letters and poetry, introductions and eulogies. In this fascinating inside look, Chouinard himself has selected his favorites from years of reflection, all accompanied by illustrative photos, many never published before. The result is more of Chouinardâs iconoclastic and provocative thinking, his skilled storytelling and sense of humor, and a picture of the evolution of his thoughts and philosophies. With articles on sport, from falconry to fishing and climbing to surfing, with musings on the purpose of business and the importance of environmental activism, Some Stories is an eclectic portrait of a unique life lived well"--Publisher's description. |
