Ready for the Edge
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I found this book to be more than a plan for living your dreams, but a beautifully written narrative on how the author chose to live his own dream. In an unassuming manner, the author tells his tale, while laying out his philosophy for achieving your dreams. Through his story, I found myself inspired to pursue my dreams, and to reevaluate what I have not yet accomplished because of the obstacles and fears I have put in my way. I now view those things as opportunities, not failures, but experiences to learn from and grow with as I live my dream. My fire has been rekindled, and I'm ready move to the edge. Thanks.
Business, Biking, and Life - Sweet!

What a cool book! Just the idea of riding a motorcycle through the wilderness of Alaska - alone! - is crazy enough to make this an interesting read. But Tyler uses his dry sense of humor, sharp insights about life, and his own success in business to make you, as reader, believe you could do it, too. The best kind of book - intimate and personal, but universal in its message. I think readers will learn more about their own philosophy of life through this book, and hopefully be empowered to take on their own challenges. (Okay, I hope I am. I certainly feel empowered after reading it!) Read, enjoy - and maybe learn something about yourself.
Inspiring, poetic and accessible!

Unlike so many 'self-help' books, A Passion for the Edge truly does make the impossible seem possible. We all have dreams in the back of our minds, and the beautifully descriptive writing in Tyler's book made me feel like NOW really is the best time to begin the first steps towards achieving those seemingly crazy goals. The content is not only what's so fantastic about this read; I also need to mention how well it is written. The descriptions of each story, each dialogue from Tyler's past - all so detailed and like poetry, creates a complete picture in the reader's mind, which further helps to motivate. If the reader can see and hear and taste what the author is writing about, then the book has done its job. Using his motorcycle trip as a metaphor, Tyler is able to instill courage and excitement in the reader by explaining some of his first rides: "The air spoke to me with a meditative ohmmmmmmmme sound, inviting life to pour through my soul." (page 63 - I suggest reading that page twice!) I am now ready for my own journey - with or without a Honda Valkyrie!
Refreshing and Inspiring!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
As I read this book I could almost imagine the author telling me the accounts over a campfire. Tyler comes across in an honest unaffected manner. This is a courageous personal journal of a man who has worked hard to keep the adventurous spirit of his youth and has learned the tools to accomplish his life's ambitions. "A Passion for the Edge" reconnected me with the healthy curiosity in the details of the world around me, especially the human ones, as well as opening my eyes to more than just the heights of the mountain peaks and the vast distances between them as traveled by Tyler. Instead of the vast expanse of the open road, we get lost souls without purpose or direction. Through his example I am recharged with the passion to obtain my soul's true goals and fulfillment. I envy Tyler for his courage to expand his life so dramatically. I am now ready to do the same.
Motivating, unique and passionate!!!

This book changed my thinking. What a refreshing approach to illustrating unique principles of success by combining an eloquent tale of a journey through the wilderness and the mind. Attaining success in the areas of my life I have struggled with now seems possible and even easier than I had originally imagined. I am ready to dust the cobwebs off my unaccomplished "dream list" and start applying the principles in this book!
