Elevate: Post Trail Depression, Remedies, and Hypotheses

By Eric Schott

Thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail is a monumental feat few have ever completed. But even as you take that final step of 2200 miles, a new journey is upon you, one that may prove to be even more difficult: post trail depression (PTD). Common knowledge of PTD is sparse and proves to pose problems for thru hikers as they exit trail life. 'Elevate' presents metaphorical accounts of a thru hike, with an emphasis on transcending PTD. This is achieved through various remedies based on breathing techniques, meditations, conscious cognition and holistic practices. This publication is your definitive guidebook to navigate post trail life and elevate to a higher state. This publication offers the reader: Personal accounts of a thru-hike and the life transforming discoveries therein; a deep insight on what to expect from PTD, both for the hiker and hiker's loved ones; a comprehensive array of remedies to help heal physically and mentally after any tremendous change in life; a day-by-day approach to put you in the pilot seat of your life and on a path towards your perfect lifestyle; a miscellany of hypotheses and theories that reciprocate between trail life and conventional lifestyle. This book is written by a thru hiker, for thru-hikers past and present, but also geared towards a hiker's loved ones and social acquaintances. The passages within can dramatically transform anyone's life to further fulfillment and satiation with life.
