Товч агуулга:In To the Limits, adventure writer Jim Clash examines the phenomenon of corporate leaders and millionaires who test their limits through high–end, risky adventure–and links the life and business lessons they have learned along the way. Based on his popular column in Forbes, Clash details his own exotic adventures and includes anecdotes from high–profile, daredevil executives who share his passion for adventure–from flying to the edge of space 84,000 feet up (Dennis Tito, Chief Executive of Wilshire Associates), to climbing 20,000–foot mountain peaks (Timothy Forbes, Chief Operating Officer of Forbes, Inc.), to racing open–wheel cars (Mark Patterson, Vice Chairman of Credit Suisse First Boston), to swimming at the North Pole (Geoffrey Kent, Chief Executive of Abercrombie & Kent). Clash′s dramatic narrative also explores the powerful connection between extreme success in business and in life, and covers topics such as risk–taking, testing personal limits, and dealing with decision–making responsibilities.
