Regarding Willingness: Chronicles of a Fraught Life by Tom Harpole

Harpole’s willingness and perspective on dalliances with danger range from an N.F.L. record, to horse logging, to skydiving with Russian cosmonauts, to getting a black bear stoned, to his compassion as a volunteer EMT in rural Montana, to protesting Gorbachev in 1990, to driving ice roads above the Arctic circle, and more. This book is a collection of sixteen of his most popular stories.

“In the self-effacing tradition of Tim Cahill’s work, his adventures, sometimes unanticipated, are always told with a rough and ready heart.” – Betsy Gaines Quammen, author of of American Zion: Cliven Bundy, God & Public Lands in the West
