Synopsis
Story by story by story, Kari Loya's My Top 40 at 40 becomes a primer on the alchemy of adventure. After he's carried you up mountains crawling with tarantulas, plunged you in mud volcanoes and man-eating Cuban potholes, taken you on a sleep-over atop a Guatemalan pyramid, introduced you to frightening Serbian giants and Japanese sumo wrestlers and taught you how to transform an Argentinean beauty into a wife, it dawns on you: the tarantulas and mud volcanoes and pyramids and giants are all just wonderful props. The magic all occurs in the spirit and imagination of one human being...who could be you. - Gary Smith, Senior Writer for Sports Illustrated and Four-Time National Magazine Award Winner
