Kairos (häftad, eng)

"I''m standing on the edge of a 40-foot cliff, surrounded by a glacial lake, getting ready to jump. There''s snow on all sides of the water below, and it crunched under our boots as we steadily climbed up to the top of the cliff. The sheer drop below is terrifying - littered with any number of rocks that I could hit on the way down.

The slightest misstep and the result could be catastrophic. All the same, as I run through my internal risk assessment, I decide that if this doesn''t work out then, all things considered, I''d be relieved that I wouldn''t have to go back to the office next week. It seems like a win-win situation.

I hate my job that much."

Kairos is a compelling account of one woman''s journey to find out what she''s really capable of and what it means to redefine your limits - and your life.
