Life Is One Long Slackline: 12 Lessons Learned From Extreme Highliners About Overcoming Fear and The Path to Greatness

May 15, 2016 in

There is much we can learn about life from extreme hihgliners. Life really is just one long slackline.

This is a hopeful message: it means we can apply many of the lessons learned by highliners down here on the ground, without worrying about the same potentially dire consequences.
