      The New York Times bestselling author and human performance expert embarks on a personal journey to master skiing at fifty-three, testing his theories on aging and performance. He explores the concept of "gnar," referring to high-risk environments, and examines how recent advancements in embodied cognition, flow science, and network neuroscience challenge traditional views on peak performance in older athletes. With examples like Kelly Slater and Tom Brady excelling well into their fifties, Kotler questions whether these insights can apply to everyday individuals. Over thirty years of studying human performance, he has taught countless people to achieve their best, but now he seeks to apply this wisdom to himself. His experience pushing his aging body beyond perceived limits becomes a narrative about ambition, resilience, and growth. This book serves as an inspiring, practical, and often humorous antidote to the weariness of aging. It encourages readers to embrace challenges, whether it's skiing, running a 10K, or advancing in their careers. Part personal journey, part scientific exploration, Kotler invites us on a thrilling ride towards a more vibrant life, defying the limitations often associated with aging.
