Philosophy for Polar Explorers | Free Book
Erling Kagge
A thoughtful and eloquent meditation that invites us to treat life
like a grand exploration and illuminates the possibilities that
await us when we do—from “a philosophical adventurer—or perhaps an
adventurous philosopher” (The New York Times).
Erling Kagge is one of the world’s most accomplished explorers. He was the first to conquer all three poles on foot, by climbing Mount Everest and walking to the North and South Poles. 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.
