Adventures in Opting Out
A Field Guide to Leading an Intentional Life
1 of 1 copy available
We all follow our own path in life. At least, that's what we're told. In reality, many of us either do what is expected of us, or follow the invisible but well-worn paths that lead to what is culturally acceptable. For some, those paths are fine — even great. But they leave some of us feeling disconnected from ourselves and what we really want. When that discomfort finally outweighs the fear of trying something new, we're ready to opt out.
After going through this process many times, Cait Flanders found there is an incredible parallel between taking a different path in life and the psychological work it takes to summit a mountain — especially when you decide to go solo. In Adventures in Opting Out, she offers a trail map to help you with both. As you'll see, reaching the first viewpoint can be easy — and it offers a glimpse of what you're walking toward. Climbing to the summit for the full view is worth it. But in the space between those two peaks you will enter a world completely unknown to you, and that is the most difficult part of the path to navigate.
With Flanders's guidance and advice, drawn from her own journey and stories of others, you'll have all the encouragement and insight you'll need to take the path less traveled and create the life you want. Just step up to the trailhead and expect it to be an adventure.

This is Cait Flanders's second book about "minimalizing" life's complications and making choices that are right for you. Christine Lakin presents this enjoyable manifesto as if she knows what the author is up to. Flanders's stories of her traveling and solo hiking adventures on the West Coast and in the U.K. serve as a platform for her advice on how to choose and manage an unconventional life. To some, Lakin's finely crafted performance may sound too refined for the author's message. She's an accomplished voice pro with near-perfect diction and melodic phrasing. But her narration works because it embodies the generosity and authenticity in the author's message. In sound and substance, this is a warm and powerful guide for anyone needing help in choosing and navigating the road less traveled. T.W. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
