Bestselling Author Reveals What Skiing Can Teach Everyone about Being Successful Off the Slopes

SUN VALLEY, Idaho, Oct. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- As the bestselling author of a new book that uses skiing as a metaphor for success in life, Kathryn Kemp Guylay had to conquer her own fear of skiing. In fact, she accomplished that feat so well that she ended up spending time on Nordic and Alpine slopes with some of the world's best skiers.

For Mountain Mantras: Wellness and Life Lessons from the Slopes (September 2015), Kemp Guylay interviewed dozens of professional athletes and Olympians, including four-time Olympian Kikkan Randall, who wrote the book's foreword. Kemp Guylay wanted to understand their unique approach to success. She also wanted to give back to organizations that assist with her own personal mission of health and wellness. The book's Giving Back Program is set up to provide at least 20 percent of its proceeds to nonprofit causes.

Kemp Guylay can answer such question as:

• In what ways are athletes ahead of the business world? What can they teach the rest of us about learning from failure and overcoming fear?
• Why was learning to ski such a humbling experience?
• What are the six Mountain Mantras? How do they lead to success in life and wellness?
• Why is she donating 20 percent of her proceeds to nonprofits, including Fast and Female US?
