“Mathematician Kurt Gödel published the incompleteness theorem in 1931. His study of mathematics had unearthed the notion that if a mathematical formula is comprised entirely of provable axioms, the formula will never be correct. For a formula to be correct there must be an element that is unprovable. Mathematics is beyond mechanistic. Rob Wood connects to this truth: the elements that are beyond being completely knowable are the pieces that make our connection to nature and ourselves whole. Furthermore, when we step into being present with this mystery, we have the opportunity to understand ourselves, others and the environment at a much higher level, so we can perform in ways we never thought possible.” —Ken Wylie, author of Buried and founder of Archetypal: Mindfulness Applications for Risk Management
“Rob Wood has crafted an inspiring introduction to being ‘in the zone’ as an attunement to the intelligence and flow of nature. Through rich anecdotes from his decades of mountaineering, and lively treatment of selected scientists and Indigenous world views, Rob guides his readers along the path of letting go of cultural conditioning, paying attention to our surroundings, and opening up ways of experiencing nature that provide rewards for all of us, whether seeking spiritual freedom or coping with a challenging disease.” —Christopher Ives, author of Zen on the Trail: Hiking as Pilgrimage and Meditations on the Trail: A Guidebook for Self-Discovery
