| Abstract | In this adventure, Nick, a disillusioned New Yorker, has lost his job, his marriage and his confidence. High in the Montana mountains he finds a mentor named Kumi. In the dance between Nick's skepticism and Kumi's cajoling and humor, Nick undergoes a rigorous training of mind, body and spirit that transforms his personal and professional life. Nick's notes on his growth and progress serve as a step-by-step handbook for the reader. |
