Choose to Thrive: Life's Views From High Camp

Author: Stacy "Bode" Taniguchi

A life, a career, and a reputation all take time, effort, and strain to build. But somewhere along the way . . . did you lose yourself?

If you're feeling burned out, disoriented, somewhat hopeless or quietly wondering what happened to the person I used to be, you're not alone. The demands of life, success, and responsibility can slowly bury your passions, dull your drive, and leave you wondering what's next. Choose to THRIVE is your invitation to stop enduring and start reclaiming your life.

Dr. Stacy Taniguchi—wilderness guide, university professor, and researcher on human motivation—knows what it means to stand at the edge of exhaustion. In this honest and energizing book, he weaves gripping true stories with the two research-backed models, Choose to Thrive and Meaningful Experiences, designed to help you reconnect with what matters most.

In these pages, you’ll learn how to:

• Step out of survival mode and into intentional, values-based living
• Reignite your sense of purpose with experiences that matter
• Rebuild your identity apart from what you do or who you please
• Reclaim a life of excitement, meaning, and forward momentum

One unforgettable story features an attorney who summited Denali and returned home to reclaim his life. That single experience rewrote his story—and this book shows how you can write yours. Choose to THRIVE is not about chasing adrenaline. It’s about rising again, rediscovering your voice, and choosing a life that finally feels like your own.
