Ultratriathlon mag verrückt klingen, dennoch – oder gerade deshalb – begeistern sich immer mehr Sportler dafür. Denn Wettkämpfe über die mehrfache Ironman-Distanz sind mehr als nur eine körperliche Herausforderung – sie erfordern intensives Wissen über den eigenen Körper, ein hohes Maß an Disziplin und vor allem große mentale Stärke. Auch wenn der Titel „Go hard or go home“ auf den ersten Blick etwas provokant daherkommt, steht er doch als Sinnbild für alle individuellen Ziele des Lebens. Ob beim 5-km-Lauf, beim Volkstriathlon oder auch im Berufsleben: Nur, wer bereit ist alles zu geben, wird am Ende die bestmöglichen Resultate erzielen. Daniel Meier vermittelt in seinem Buch die Faszination des Ultratriathlons. Welche Motivation steckt dahinter? Sind Ultratriathleten wirklich verrückt? Wie entstand die Idee dazu? Und wie bereitet man sich vor auf Rennen über die 2-, 3-, 5-, 10-, 20- oder 30-fache Ironman-Distanz? Neben umfangreichen Tipps und praktischen Ratschlägen kommen zu den Themen Vorbereitung, Ernährung oder Mentaltraining zahlreiche Athleten und Experten in Gastbeiträgen und Interviews zu Wort. Das Buch dient als Einstieg für all diejenigen, die in die Ultradistanzen hineinschnuppern wollen, gibt aber auch neue Impulse für Sportler, deren Ziel es ist, sich in diesem Bereich weiterzuentwickeln.

Volume 2 in The Dung Beetles of Liberia series. In April of 1979, Ken Verrier and his wife, Sam, return to Liberia to buy diamonds. They did not return to get caught up in a rice riot and a coup de'etat. But that's what happens. Ken witnesses and unwittingly participates in a period of Liberia's tumultuous yet poorly documented history---the overthrow of the Tolbert presidency and ultimately the end of the Americo-Liberian one hundred thirty-three years of political and social dominance. Details of President Tolbert's assassination are sketchy, but through Ken's association with his Americo friends from the past, the CIA agents he meets, and the Liberian military he is forced to deal with, a believable scenario emerges. While describing the once beautiful country and a kind and generous people, Meier intertwines terrifying tales of the atrocities committed that account for the future pain of an entire nation.

Based on the remarkable true account of a young American who landed in Liberia in the 1960s. It's 1961 and young Ken Verrier is experiencing the turbulence of Ishmael and the guilt of his brother's death. His sudden decision to drop out of college and deal with his demons shocks his family, his friends, and especially his girlfriend, soon to have been his fiance. His destination: Liberia--the richest country in Africa both in monetary wealth and natural resources. But nothing could have prepared Ken for the experiences he was about to live through. He quickly realizes that he has arrived in a place where he understands very little of what is considered normal, where the dignity of life has little meaning, and where he can trust no one. Author Daniel Meier describes Ken Verrier's many escapades, spanning from horrifying to whimsical, with engaging and fast-moving narrative that ultimately describe a society upon which the wealthy are feeding and in which the poor are being buried. It's a novel that will stay will you long after the last word has been read.

Medzi množstvom kníh, ktoré koučovanie komplikujú hlbokou psychológiou alebo naopak, zjednodušujú ho na šablónovité techniky, je táto kniha osviežujúcim prekvapením. Zrozumiteľnou formou, na prepisoch skutočných koučovacích rozhovorov, umožňuje čitateľovi pochopenie samotnej podstaty koučovania. Ponúka veľa námetov na experimentovanie a príklady rozdielov koučovacích prístupov. Kniha dokumentuje dlhoročnú skúsenosť autorov, že nájsť schodné riešenia možno aj bez analýzy príčin nezdarov a ťažkostí. Provokuje nás slovami: „Riešenie sa nestará, ako problém vznikol“. Dokazuje, že koučovanie nemusí bolieť a môže pritom za krátky čas priniesť dlhotrvajúce výsledky.
