No one knows this better than Erling Kagge, who was the first man in history to reach all of the Earth's poles by foot - the North, the South, and the summit of Everest. In <i>Philosophy for Polar Explorers</i> he brings together the wisdom and expertise he has gained from the expeditions that have taken him to the limits of the earth, and of human endurance.<br><br>In sixteen meditative but practical lessons - from cultivating an optimistic outlook, to getting up at the right time, to learning to take pleasure in the small things and comfort in solitude - Erling Kagge reveals what survival in the most extreme conditions can teach us about how to lead a meaningful life.
