Critics Review
An energetic, resonant consideration of mastery, service, identity, and the risks of leaving one’s goals unfulfilled * Publishers Weekly *
Chin’s conversations … explore what it takes to forge a distinct path. The answer, in part: Learn to live bravely * Wall Street Journal *
The chapters of Rules to Live By present Jimmy’s interviews, experiences, adventures, and lessons learned with each of them. Jimmy’s willingness to seek out and accept mentorship should be an example to us all * The Alpinist *
Despite knowing Jimmy for almost 20 years I still learned a lot about him and his upbringing. It’s a fast, fun read with some really insightful nuggets of wisdom – Alex Honnold
