May 20th| DEBS’ Book Club
May 20 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
The DEB's are very excited to announce our next featured guest: Amby Burfoot, 1968 Boston Marathon winner and author of the book, "The Runner's Guide to the Meaning of Life: What 35 Years of Running Has Taught Me about Winning, Losing, Happiness, Humility and the Human Heart."
Amby will be joining us via ZOOM.
"This is one of the five best books on running.”—Benjamin H. Cheever, Runner’s World Magazine.
Boston Marathon winner Amby Burfoot, one of running’s wisest voices, presents 15 life lessons about passion, courage, materialism, failure, and regeneration, all learned during his more than 35 years of experience in running.
Amby discusses a runner’s essential traits—qualities necessary for everyone striving to reach a long-term goal—as well as the writing, music, and quotes that have continually inspired him. Most important, Burfoot explains that winners are not those who cross the finish line first, but those who discover more about themselves with every step. Lessons include:
- How to Create a Life of Perpetual New Beginnings
- On Tapping the Profound Power of Human Interaction
- In the Race to Be Your Best, There is No Losing
- What You Really Need, You Already Have
- On the Power of Short Steps, Steady Progress
- And more
