Uma historia real e de tirar o folego sobre dedicacao, perseveranca e inovacao no empreendedorismo online e alternativa de vida. Um testemunho sobre como levar os limites da curiosidade humana a novas fronteiras."e;Antes da era Covid-19, ser um globetrotter digital e passar por todos os paises do mundo parecia estar na moda, por isso Ian estava definitivamente criando uma tendencia"e; - Tony Wheeler, Co-fundador da Lonely PlanetO que voce poderia aprender apos mais de vinte anos passados percorrendo o planeta, sendo dezessete deles sem pausas, como um empreendedor digital? O quanto a sua vida poderia mudar apos explorar todos os paises do mundo, 230 paises incluindo cada um dos 195 reconhecidos pelas Nacoes Unidas? Esse e o relato de uma incrivel jornada com reviravoltas e aventuras sem fim. Sao dezessete anos vivendo e trabalhando com uma mochila nas costas, carregando consigo apenas o absolutamente essencial para viver confortavelmente, financiado pelo home office, atraves das maravilhas da renda passiva. A historia sobre como um homem destinado a uma carreira promissora de Engenharia se tornou assombrado pela ideia de ter que viver uma rotina de trabalho das nove da manha as cinco da tarde, engatilhando seus instintos nomadicos para escolher uma vida em que ele pudesse dedicar cada dia de sua existencia para viver, respirando e experimentando a liberdade, muitas aventuras e surpresas. A historia de como um homem que, embora curioso sobre o que o mundo reservou para ele, se apaixonou pelo Brasil e seu povo, lutando para decidir entre ficar ou continuar seu caminho para novos horizontes.Um testemunho inspirador sobre formas alternativas de viver a vida fora dos caminhos tradicionais que nos sempre conhecemos. Uma reflexao sobre o nivel de liberdade que uma pessoa consegue alcancar quando se da essa oportunidade. Uma sede por conhecimento guiada por um desejo de encontrar outros colegas cidadaos do mundo, desde aqueles pertencentes a tribos ate a realeza, do Afeganistao ao Zimbabue, pela terra, mar ou pelo ceu. Uma jornada motivada apenas por um desejo: descobrir o desconhecido e viver cada dia como se fosse o ultimo.Abandonar a seguranca e o conforto da civilizacao ocidental nao e a coisa mais intuitiva a se fazer. A historia de um sonhador que, por toda a sua vida, teve o desejo de viajar e que, com o diploma de Engenharia em maos, decidiu jogar tudo fora e arriscar uma saida da vida tradicional. O conceito de empreendedorismo online era desconhecido ate entao, quando o sonhador decidiu ser o pioneiro de um novo estilo de vida e apostar "e;tudo ou nada"e; em uma configuracao de nomade digital para custear seu amor por viajar. Uma jornada que, de forma vagarosa, certamente o guiaria por todos os paises do mundo.Uma longa viagem que, invariavelmente, trouxe um catalogo de inesperadas anedotas fresquinhas. Seu habito de sempre testar o territorio e socializar nas mais diversificadas situacoes o levou a se infiltrar em tribos na Africa, Oriente Medio e nas Ilhas do Pacifico, a se juntar as comunidades de surfistas nos mares mais remotos ou ate dividir refeicoes com os nomades mongois, assim como com ministros afegaos. Seu estilo incomum de viajar o levou a navegar o Oceano Pacifico, de navios cargueiros a iates, cruzando fronteiras internacionais pela selva em uma motocicleta e, ate mesmo, embarcar em trens intercontinentais por milhares de quilometros. Isso muitas vezes o levava a encarar os horrores da guerra em locais como Siria, Iemen, Iraque e Libia, enquanto escapava das maos do terrorismo por muitas ocasioes.Essa e uma historia de um aventureiro inquieto com gosto pela vida.

Read the captivating biography of Abe Saperstein, originator of the Harlem Globetrotters, which is called "meticulously researched and written in an easy and entertaining style" by Booklist in a starred review. The original Harlem Globetrotters weren’t from Harlem, and they didn’t start out as globetrotters. The talented all-Black team, started by Jewish immigrant Abe Saperstein, was from Chicago’s South Side and toured the Midwest in Saperstein’s model-T. But with Saperstein’s savvy and the players’ skills, the Globetrotters would become a worldwide sensation. Globetrotter: How Abe Saperstein Shook Up the World of Sports is the fascinating biography of Saperstein, a five-foot-three promoter who made an amazing impact in a sport where height is at a premium: basketball. After Saperstein founded the team in the 1920s, they battled everything from blizzards to bigotry, steadily building a reputation for talent and comedy until their footprint covered the entire world. Abe Saperstein’s impact went well beyond the Harlem Globetrotters. He helped keep baseball’s Negro Leagues alive, was a force in getting pitching great Satchel Paige his shot at the majors, and befriended Olympic star Jesse Owens when he fell on hard times. When Saperstein started the American Basketball League, he pioneered the three-point shot, which has dramatically changed the sport. Globetrotter reveals the tireless work and impressive achievements of a man and a basketball team that made millions of people laugh, gasp, and applaud at their astounding performances.
