"This book is a breath of wild, clear air in a world drowning in distraction. Read it and learn how to live again." -Alexia Brown, Attorney (Ret.)/School Board Trustee

Shelli didn't set out to write a book. She set out to examine her life.

A longtime wanderer, she has walked an estimated 35,000 miles over the past 15 years-on wilderness trails, during coaching calls, through daily life, and across breathtaking landscapes in the U.S. and abroad.

She lives on the frontier of Wyoming and works from a 100-year-old sheepherder's wagon beside the Popo Agie River. The wilderness has long been her platform and her refuge. It's where she's done her deepest work.

An entrepreneur, coach, keynote presenter, leadership consultant, writer, adventure guide, and founder of Epic Life Inc., Shelli has coached hundreds of individuals and leaders-helping them reflect deeply on their lives and paths. She has also worked with numerous leadership teams and groups, inspiring insight, connection, and transformation.

In an age when we spend more time indoors-sedentary, distracted, on our devices for work, and turning to our screens for inspiration-Breathtaking is a call to return to ourselves, and the wilds, for what truly matters.

Drawing from a lifetime of lived experience and nearly 15 years of deep work with others, Shelli offers eight trail-tested lessons. These compass points form the scaffolding of her work at Epic Life Inc.- lessons shaped, tested, and lived by her clients and by herself, again and again.

This isn't a "how-to." It's a "walk-with."

Living your epic life could be a great adventure. It could be breathtaking.

Let this be your field guide.

"This book from Shelli Johnson is one of the best manuals you'll ever discover for an adventurous life lived in holistic communion with nature." -Jon Dorn, CEO, Teton Gravity Research, author, and former Chief Entertainment Officer at Outside
