What makes a good explorer? Adaptability, ambition, stamina, self-confidence, curiosity, optimism, authorityâand fund-raising ability. Though few of us will ever have to face a charging elephant, or survive solely on penguin stew, when it comes to project management, crisis aversion, or any number of everyday problems, there is much we can learn from the larger-than-life tales of the worldâs most famous adventurers. Here, award-winning documentarian Mick Conefrey pulls practical advice from their original diaries and logs, like how to survive an anaconda attack (wait until it has swallowed your legs, then reach down and cut its head off), and how to keep morale up (according to Ernest Shackleton, âA good laugh doesnât require any additional weightâ). In addition to the wonderful characters and stories, this book offers many lessons on how to set sail without a clear path home.
