Wholesale Philosophy for Polar Explorers

In this meditative and beautiful volume, explorer, mountaineer, author, and publisher Erling Kagge takes the reader along on a philosophical journey and offers them the wisdom he has gleaned from his various voyages to the summit of Everest and both North and South Poles. With simple reflections on life-changing attitude adjustments, Kagge encourages the reader to make small changes to their life in order to live it more fully. Whether that means getting up early, recognizing and accepting failure, or cultivating optimism in the face of enormous odds, Kagge has a lesson for each of us, even if we never venture to the ends of the earth. (This title may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
