Reaching Life's Everest.
Harriet Rubin provides a radical, high-energy manifesto for everyone who has ever wanted to throw off the security blanket of corporate life. Soloing is work that defines not just what you do, but how you are. Soloing means "being complete in oneself".
From the 1950s to the 1970s, if you wanted to make a difference you joined a company. From the 1980s onwards you started a company. But in the new century organisations of all kinds are as inspiring and user-friendly as a pair of concrete boots. To go far, you have to make the journey on your own two feet.
What do you do when you reach the top of a 40 foot pole? You keep on climbing - without the pole. Climbing a pole is hard work. But climbing when the pole is gone is far tougher - It's empowering. It's exhilarating. It's Soloing!
