Med entusiasme og skarp observasjonsevne tar Erlend Loe oss med på en enhjuls-odyssé gjennom ett år. Med fri assosiasjon og lekenhet, men alltid i balanse, alltid fremoverlent, alltid i forhandlinger med virkeligheten. Gjennom å forhandle med virkeligheten kommer den også til orde på nye og uventende måter.«Først rullet jeg på fire hjul. Så på tre. Deretter lenge på to. Nå på ett.Det pågår en redusering.Til slutt, om noen år, ingen vet hvor mange, har jeg ingen hjul. Og blir til den jorden jeg hele livet har elsket å sykle på.Jeg hadde aldri trodd jeg kunne gjøre det, men nå flyr jeg lavt over landskapet. Øynene mine er 220 cm over bakken og trær farer forbi. Stien under meg er myk, alt er mykt, selv om det av og til også er steinete og ruglete. Noen ganger er det vått og glatt. Uansett må jeg ha kontroll, fra sekund til sekund. En forhøyning der, en stein, ei rot, en vannpytt som kan være dypere enn jeg kan se. Jeg kan falle når som helst. Men jeg faller ikke. For jeg kan fly. Men av og til faller jeg likevel. Eller hopper av for å unngå å falle.»Erlend Loe har syklet store deler av livet sitt. For ett år siden bestemte han seg for å prøve enhjulssykkel og siden har han vært frelst.Hva får en nesten to meter høy femtiåring, som selv påstår han ikke liker å stikke seg ut, til å sette seg på en enhjuling og sykle gjennom byen? Hva er det som er så forlokkende med det? Det må da finnes mer praktiske transportmiddel?Et personlig og medrivende essay à la Å være John McEnroe og Murakamis Hva jeg snakker om når jeg snakker om løping.

I Stillhetens råskap får du innsikt i hva mindfulness-trening er, og hvordan denne treningen kan hjelpe deg til å prestere bedre. Mindfulness gir deg råskapen og styrken som skal til for å ha muligheten til å stå støtt i kaotiske eller ubehagelige situasjoner. Mindfulness gir deg kjennskap til hvem du er bak tankene og følelsene, og gir deg dermed et rom i stillhet der du kan føle det fullstendig trygg. Mindfulness gir deg muligheten til å basere valgene dine på noe mer enn bare impulser, lyst, ønsker, frykt eller tro. Du bruker mindre energi på det du ikke kan gjøre noe med, mer energi på her og nå, på livskvalitet og prestasjon. Mindfulness er oppmerksomt nærvær, eller som forfatteren sier: du er bevisst til stede uten å dømme. Boka gir alt du trenger for å sette i gang med mindfulness-trening. Du får også tilgang til unike lydfiler med guidede øvelser (QR-koder). Fokus på hvordan mindfulness kan tilføre styrke, robusthet og prestasjonsevne langt utover det andre kjente metodikker kan. *Utgangspunkt i nye forskningsresultater på mindfulness, forfatter har praktisk erfaring.*Forfatteren gir eksempler fra toppidrett og Forsvaret og gir innblikk i hvordan vi «vanlige» mennesker kan lære av deres erfaring.*Skrevet enkelt og med god driv av en ung forfatter som forsker på resultater av mindfulness-trening blant prestasjonsutøvere.

The inspiring true story of a 100,000-mile motorcycle world record attempt where everything that could possibly go wrong, went spectacularly wrong.In the spring of 2022, renowned long distance motorcycle riders Wendy Crockett and Ian McPhee set out to execute their meticulously planned World Record ride attempt. The premise was simple enough: Visit every Australian state in alphabetical order, documenting each visit by photographing the state's capitol building. The approach would then be replicated in the United States, visiting a grand total of 58 capitols on an epic road trip adventure spanning two continents and three countries.Reality hit hard with the revelation that absolutely nothing about this undertaking was destined to go smoothly. Yet even in the face of unfathomable adversity, including breakdowns, illness, animals strikes, historic weather events, and multiple hospitalizations, this tenacious duo refused to abandon their quest. Fueled by boundless optimism and unrelenting determination, Pushing Miles is a brutally honest and surprisingly humorous look at what it takes to make an uphill ride into endurance motorcycling history.
