Das Glück ist grau
Warme Augen, vorwitzige Ohren, die Hufe eines Champions und das Herz eines Helden: Das ist Sherman. Doch der kleine Esel strotzte nicht immer vor Lebensfreude - ganz im Gegenteil. Als Christopher McDougall ihn bei sich aufnimmt, ist er so stark verwahrlost, dass kaum jemand an sein Überleben glaubt. Schnell wird klar, dass Sherman eine Lebensaufgabe braucht. McDougall fasst daher den wahnwitzigen Plan, Sherman für Eselrennen auszubilden, wie man sie in den Rocky Mountains veranstaltet. Auf seinem Weg zum selbstbewussten Läufer wird Sherman von McDougalls Familie, Freunden, Nachbarn und ein paar seiner Artgenossen begleitet. Dabei erweist er sich für einige seiner Gefährten als Quelle des Trostes und der Unterstützung. Christopher McDougall führt uns vor Augen, was die meisten von uns verloren haben: die jahrtausendealte Verbindung von Mensch und Tier. So ist >Das Glück ist grau< vor allem eine berührende Geschichte über die heilende Kraft echter Gemeinschaft.

Born to Run
Full of incredible characters, amazing athletic achievements, cutting-edge science, and, most of all, pure inspiration, Born to Run is an epic adventure that began with one simple question: Why does my foot hurt? In search of an answer, Christopher McDougall sets off to find a tribe of the world's greatest distance runners and learn their secrets, and in the process shows us that everything we thought we knew about running is wrong.Isolated by the most savage terrain in North America, the reclusive Tarahumara Indians of Mexico's deadly Copper Canyons are custodians of a lost art. For centuries they have practiced techniques that allow them to run hundreds of miles without rest and chase down anything from a deer to an Olympic marathoner while enjoying every mile of it. Their superhuman talent is matched by uncanny health and serenity, leaving the Tarahumara immune to the diseases and strife that plague modern existence. With the help of Caballo Blanco, a mysterious loner who lives among the tribe, the author was able not only to uncover the secrets of the Tarahumara but also to find his own inner ultra-athlete, as he trained for the challenge of a lifetime: a fifty-mile race through the heart of Tarahumara country pitting the tribe against an odd band of Americans, including a star ultramarathoner, a beautiful young surfer, and a barefoot wonder.With a sharp wit and wild exuberance, McDougall takes us from the high-tech science labs at Harvard to the sun-baked valleys and freezing peaks across North America, where ever-growing numbers of ultrarunners are pushing their bodies to the limit, and, finally, to the climactic race in the Copper Canyons. Born to Run is that rare book that will not only engage your mind but inspire your body when you realize that the secret to happiness is right at your feet, and that you, indeed all of us, were born to run.
