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.

“ Kagge’s lean, likeable style makes for an enjoyable whirl of a read.”
—The Wall Street Journal

“A philosophical adventurer—or perhaps an adventurous philosopher.”
—The New York Times

“With a sense of awe, Kagge wanders rather than narrates, moving intuitively between philosophy, science, and personal experience.”
—Los Angeles Review of Books

Simple, profound, useful for application in your own life. Kagge is yet another in a great tradition of Nordic explorers who push the rest of us to remember/discover our own inner compass.
