A heartwarming story about training a rescue donkey to run one of the most challenging races in America. "McDougall is a gifted storyteller who gets to the heart of the human-animal connection."--John Grogan, author of Marley & Me.e.

Author of the phenomenal national best seller, Born to Run , Christopher McDougall now travels to the Mediterranean where he discovers that the secrets of ancient Greek heroes are still alive and well on the island of Crete and in the muscles and minds of fitness enthusiasts everywhere. While researching Born to Run , Chris McDougall encountered the story of Pheidippides, the legendary ancient Greek "all-day runner." Later, when McDougall met a dedicated amateur historian, he saw a connection to one of the most fascinating mysteries of World War II: How did a small band of Resistance fighters surrounded by German troops kidnap a top German general? What he discovered is that ancestral techniques for extraordinary endurance, natural movement, and nutrition allowed ancient Greek soldiers and Cretan shepherds to race across mountains on all-night missions. Inspired by their heroic acts, McDougall sets off to discover the lost art of the hero, both throughout history and across the world. Just as Born to Run inspired casual runners to get off the treadmill, out of their shoes, and into nature, Natural-Born Heroes will inspire casual athletes to leave the gym and take their fitness to nature doing cross-training, mud runs, parkour and free-running to bound--and climb, swim, skip, wade, and jump--their way to heroic feats.

In 2004, Dr. Dave Hnida, a family physician from Littleton, Colorado, volunteered for deployment to Iraq, serving as a battalion surgeon. He returned in 2007 as a trauma chief at a busy Combat Support Hospital (CSH) during the Surge. The CSH, staffed by older reservists, became a medevac destination due to its remarkable 98 percent survival rate. Operating in a makeshift environment, Dr. Hnida and his team focused on stabilizing the wounded for airlift to more comprehensive care. Here, the Hippocratic Oath took precedence over military allegiance; every patient received care, regardless of their background. The stark reality of treating both injured American soldiers and insurgents side by side was balanced by moments of levity, as the doctors coped with the relentless pressure through humor and camaraderie. Dr. Hnida's deployment was filled with remarkable colleagues who became trusted friends, all grappling with the psychological impact of war. Amid the chaos and complexity of conflict, this narrative offers a poignant glimpse into the life of a volunteer soldier striving to make a difference, infused with honesty, humor, and the resilience of those who faced the challenges of medical care in an unpredictable war.

Full of incredible characters, athletic achievements, cutting-edge science, and pure inspiration, this epic adventure begins with a simple question: Why does my foot hurt? In search of an answer, Christopher McDougall embarks on a journey to find a tribe of the world’s greatest distance runners and learn their secrets, revealing that much of what we know about running is misguided. Isolated in North America's harsh terrain, the Tarahumara Indians of Mexico’s Copper Canyons are guardians of a lost art, practicing techniques that enable them to run hundreds of miles without rest while enjoying every moment. Their extraordinary talent is complemented by remarkable health and serenity, making them immune to the ailments that afflict modern society. With the help of Caballo Blanco, a mysterious loner living among the tribe, McDougall uncovers the Tarahumara's secrets and discovers his own inner ultra-athlete while training for a fifty-mile race through their homeland. This race pits the tribe against a diverse group of Americans, including a star ultramarathoner and a barefoot wonder. With sharp wit and exuberance, McDougall takes us from high-tech labs to sun-baked valleys and freezing peaks, culminating in the climactic race in the Copper Canyons. This book will engage your mind and inspire your body, revealing that the secret to happiness lies at your feet and that we were all born to run.
