Kagge, a renowned Norwegian explorer, provides a thoughtful and eloquent meditation on adventure and discovery. He is one of the world’s most accomplished explorers being the first to complete the Three Poles Challenge (North Pole, South Pole, Everest).
In this thought-provoking and inspiring book, he uses the wisdom and expertise he has gained on his travels to reflect on life, nature, and humanity. Simple things like getting up early and accepting failure can make a difference, whether battling an arctic storm or stuck in traffic. And practices such as cultivating optimism and being open-minded when pursuing goals can benefit our lives enormously, wherever our paths may take us.
