Cursing at Mountains

"I loved this book. It captures so many fundamental truths in an engaging story. The book is very well written, engaging, and thoughtful. I highly recommend it."

"This book is a must read for anyone who is experiencing life's ups and downs and needs a better way forward."

What if the only way to break through the chaos in your life was to stop trying to move the mountains in your path - and instead learn to traverse them?

Chris thought he had it all under control: a career with real potential, a family he loved deeply, and dreams of building a better life for them all. But when the weight of his failures pushes him to the brink, he finds himself thrust into a surreal wilderness where nothing is certain—except the lessons that will change everything.

From cattle drives across blistering Nevada deserts to campfires in the Montana backcountry, Chris meets unlikely guides who challenge his assumptions about control, failure, and redemption. Each encounter forces him to confront his deepest regrets, his failing marriage, and the truth he’s been running from: that the mountains in life don’t move just because we want them to.

Blending vivid adventure with profound allegory, Cursing at Mountains takes readers on a journey through shifting landscapes of desert, forest, and canyon—where every road is a choice, every choice has a consequence, and growth comes only through surrender.

Fans of The Energy Bus by Jon Gordon, Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman, or Mitch Albom’s reflective storytelling will find the same mix of inspiration, adventure, and timeless wisdom in these pages.

Chris’s struggle is every person’s struggle—the battle to let go, to forgive, and to find the courage to start again. His journey will leave you asking: what mountains am I cursing at in my own life?
