A humorous and vivid collection of stories about the struggle for human connection by two-time Scotiabank Giller Prize nominee Russell Wangersky. As entertaining as they are insightful, the stories in The Path of Most Resistance are anchored by the concept of passive aggression in our everyday lives: ordinary people who are quietly, desperately, and indirectly trying to impose their will on the uncaring world around them. From a woman who compulsively shops for luggage in order to sublimate her desire for a divorce to a senior citizen who tries to force his family to visit by refusing to eat, the characters in this collection try to change their lives through oblique resistance. The Path of Most Resistance is an observant and compassionate look at the feelings of powerlessness that we all share, and will have readers silently cringing and nodding in recognition of their own bad behaviour.

Some of Hiscoe's memories of his 1973 hike from Maine to Georgia are funny, some are wistful and romantic, and some unsettling. Taken together, they give a vivid picture of what the iconic Appalachian Trail adventure was like back when the country was falling apart and hiking alone down the mountainous spine of the United States was a most strange thing to do. But this book is more than a simple wilderness tale from the Nixon era. Through a long career in higher education and corporate life, Hiscoe's memories kept sneaking back into his consciousness midway through meetings and PowerPoints. He uses these flashbacks to draw consistently fascinating and hilariously cock-eyed parallels between what he saw in the woods and what he found in the offices and classrooms of America. "No one else has ever made a bad case of backwoods giardia so illuminating." -David G. Allen, Head of the English Department, The Citadel "Sometimes painful, at times euphoric and hilarious, always awash in beauty, Hiscoe's Alice-in-Wonderland world creates an inspiring read for all walkers on the path to anywhere." -Laura Waterman, author of Losing the Garden: The Story of a Marriage "Emerging from a burgeoning pile of mediocre AT memoirs, Hiscoe's story of his 1973 trek is that 'something different' readers long for. Gritty, hilarious, poignant, and authentic. Don't pass this up." -Richard Judy, author of Thru: An Appalachian Trail Love Story

"You can't always get what you want"—but you can. Much of what we hear about ourselves and the world..."No pain, no gain"; "It's a dog-eat-dog world"; "Either you got it or you don't"—isn't true when we understand our nature and how to operate to reach our maximum potential. But how many of us understand our own design specs? Refrigerators come with instruction manuals—why not people? Here at last is the manual that should have come with you at birth. And it turns out that life is a lot easier than we've been taught. Living in alignment with your true nature—the path of least resistance—brings you all the joy, abundance and health your Manufacturer intended you to have! When a golfer has trouble with a swing, it's not because she doesn't deserve to play golf, or golf hates her, or she'll never be any good at golf, or anything like that. It's simply that her swing (behavior) is not yet in alignment with her biodynamics for that swing. With a little coaching, she can align with her body's nature and the stroke becomes easy, even effortless. The same alignment to effortlessness can happen in every area of your life! Use the tools and techniques in this book to help you align with natural, physical, and spiritual laws for joy, purpose, and vitality while living your dreams.
