Phil Powers wants you to slow down. The famous (in mountaineering circles at least) climber has summited some of the
globe’s tallest peaks, and has taken expeditions to every continent. But how does he get by every day when he is
stressed out, caught in an emergency or feeling down?
Well, according to this nice piece over at NPR, Mr. Powers favors
taking a moment to relax, or, as he puts it "sit down, collect yourself, make a plan". Yes, that sounds
pretty much right on. Sadly, though, when I am presented with an emergency, say, being confronted by a large grizzly
bear, my impetus is to run. But maybe that’s just me.
