100 Things I Learned as an Everyday Adventurer (2013)
This is the book that the most boring person would write when they discovered life’s possibilities.

From rafting to security guard certifications to crocheting, everything had a lesson, and these lessons are shared in this book. Look forward to the German answer to Winston Wolfe explaining one way to live life.
