About this item

His marriage was over, his career unraveled. Everything he'd constructed for twenty years - including his identity - had come apart. So Pat Taylor did what made no sense to anyone who knew him but complete sense to him. He walked across the Rocky Mountains. Alone. In winter. Not to prove something, but to find out if there was anything left. "Lost on Purpose" is the true story of a former technology executive who chose the wilderness over the wreckage and came back with something more valuable than the life he'd lost. In the autumn of 2013, Taylor crossed one of the largest wilderness areas in the lower forty-eight, retracing the route of Lewis and Clark alone on foot through the mountains of Idaho. No guide. No safety net. Nothing to achieve except peace of mind. This Kindle #1 Bestseller in Adventure Travel, Solo Travel, Mountaineering, and Extreme Sports is for the man who suspects there's another chapter available... and needs evidence that someone actually lived it. What you'll find inside: • A successful man who lost everything conventional and chose to rebuild on his own terms. • Field data from the moment a man stops performing his life and starts living it • Humor, grit, and zero self-pity... told exactly as it happened. Why readers keep coming back: • "I've read many adventure books, but none got into the heart and soul like this one. Real, unvarnished, and deeply human." • "No bragging, no ego. Just a man pushing his limits — and taking you with him every step of the way." Part of the bestselling Real-Life Adventures of the Texas Yeti series — 11 Kindle #1 Bestsellers, 1,500+ five-star reviews. For the man who suspects there's another chapter. This is what it actually looks like to write one.
