Natural born heroes

Christopher McDougall, author of Born to Run, investigates the secrets of ancient Greek heroes, discovering that their techniques for endurance and natural movement are still practiced today on the island of Crete. He connects these ancestral methods to a fascinating World War II mystery: how a small band of Resistance fighters kidnapped a German general. Inspired by these heroic acts, McDougall travels the world to uncover the lost art of the hero, encouraging readers to embrace natural fitness and outdoor activities.
