Will to Wild, Adventures Great and Small to Change Your Life

About the Book
With her first book, Will to Wild, Shelby shares all she’s witnessed and learned in her years covering adventurers. In these pages, you will find stories with practical tips and tactics from world-famous rock climbers and ultra-runners to longtime thru-hikers, surfers, desk-jockeys-who’ve-figured-out-how-to-get-off-the-clock, and even a suburban mom who started teaching women to scale frozen waterfalls in her mid-fifties. Each story will show you how to get unstuck, how to pay attention to “trail signs” that point toward adventure, face your fears and what to do when everything goes haywire! Whether you’re already an adventure junkie or someone who’s never set up a tent, there’s something inside these pages for you.

podcasts
In addition to creating Wild Ideas Worth Living—which she launched in 2016 and later licensed and sold to REI Co-op in 2020, where she continues to serve as host, Shelby was selected to host Lufthansa’s Life Changing Places podcast and created Vitamin Joy, which debuted in June 2020. Her audio work centers on people who choose the path less traveled and stories that inspire listeners to pursue their own goals through health, wellness, and adventure.
