From the River: A guidebook to sobriety from a lifetime of lessons paddling

Joe Booth is a lifelong whitewater enthusiast and outdoorsman. He has worked as a kayaking instructor, river guide, safety boater, and volunteer for numerous paddlesports organizations across the Western states. Through his own journey of finding a balanced life free from addiction, Joe has gained insight into the many challenges people face on and off the water. He is active in the outdoor behavioral health industry, using outdoor experiences as a path to healing. Joe has spent the past 20 years studying the fields of motivation, adult learning, peak performance, and behavioral psychology. He combined the knowledge from these subjects to personally reconstruct himself from being a self-proclaimed dirt-bag living out of his truck, into a top performer with billion-dollar software companies in Silicon Valley. Joe is recognized as a thought leader in the field of corporate development, speaking at conferences, and training high-performance operations and sales teams. Joe is the founder of Class Five Mind, a leading recovery platform that combines technology with science-based techniques for overcoming addiction. He also sits on the Board of Directors for Voyager, a non-profit dedicated to helping people heal through outdoor experiences.
