Climbing to the Top

Every ambitious person is climbing something. Few stop on the ladder long enough to ask who leaned it against this particular wall, and what is actually up there. The climb consumes decades; the questions get postponed to a summit that keeps moving.

Climbing to the Top takes ambition seriously instead of flattering it. It is about the ascent and its honest costs, the difference between height and progress, and how to climb hard without arriving at the top of the wrong wall.
