The In-Between.
Life in the Micro
Opens with a chain-reaction accident on May 9, 2022, where Christian and his partner Vanessa stop to help and everything snaps into focus. From that in-between moment, the book traces a path out of a macro-obsessed life of summits, exits, and chase, into a present-moment way of leading and living.
