Jimmy Chin's impressive career as a mountain athlete, National Geographic photographer, New York Times bestselling author and Academy Award-winning film director has taken him all over the world, from summiting and skiing Mount Everest, to expeditions and climbs from the Sahara to the Himalayas - all while capturing these jaw-dropping endeavours, the people he meets along the way and the adventures in his award winning photographs and documentary films.

After achieving so much as an athlete and an artist, and finding fulfilment in starting his family, Jimmy really got thinking about the big ideas that had driven his success thus far, and what principles were going to drive him forward to keep creating and exploring. Drawing on his gift for interviewing as a documentary filmmaker, Jimmy set off to learn from his heroes, to conduct intimate conversations with those who inspire him, distilling the key principles that we can all use to carve the path to our best lives. Diving deep into their lives, careers and insights on creativity, resilience and charting your own course, Chin sought out guiding principles to create his own personal rules to live by.

From discussing creativity and storytelling with Yo-Yo Ma, to risk taking with Alex Honnold, to family and devotion with Kelly Slater, Chin brings us a book of revelatory stories of the trials and triumphs that helped these iconic individuals rise to the top of their fields, as well as Chin's own journey to becoming the adventurer and artist he is today, inspiring readers to discover their own rules to live by.
