When Your Life Depends on It: Extreme Decision Making Lessons from the Antarctic (Resilience)

Book Synopsis: WINNER OF MULTIPLE BOOK AND AUDIOBOOK AWARDS. Here is the remarkable story of the life-and-death decisions made by the early Antarctic explorers. Packed with jaw-droppingly unforgettable, true adventures, this book reveals how the explorers risked life and limb for science, ego, national recognition, and being first to the South Pole. They all came near death all the time. Survival depended on mutual respect, camaraderie, loyalty, and the ability to resolve conflict. All of which can be summarised in one word – teamwork. Filled with insights for modern people like you and your friends, Brad Borkan and David Hirzel (co-authors of Audacious Goals, Remarkable Results) demonstrate, in this thrill-a-minute read, how these adventures reveal valuable life skills. Courage, perseverance – and even humor in the face of insurmountable odds – are skills as essential today as they were in the age of Shackleton. Buy When Your Life Depends on It. Cool down from the summer heat, and start your Antarctic adventure today. ★★★★★ “Absolutely inspiring.
