Philosophy for Polar Explorers

For millennia exploration has been central to man's quest for meaning and knowledge. For when we set our sights on the horizons, we bring everything us around into focus.



Erling Kagge 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 Philosophy for Polar Explorers, he summarises all that he has learned from his many expeditions in sixteen concise lessons for survival and success, both on and off the ice, fom getting up early to eating the right portions to learning how to be alone.



Part philosophy, part explorer's handbook, this an expert guide on how we can all go further, achieve more, and discover a more meaningful existence.
