When Your Life Depends on It: Extreme Decision Making Lessons from the Antarctic

Epic stories from the heroic age when Scott, Shackleton, Amundsen, and Mawson battled the most isolated environment on earth.

By placing you in their life and death situations, the authors encourage you to assess how you might have responded.

Would you obey a command from your dying officer to leave him behind, to further your chances of a safe return? Would you handpick your crew based on gut instinct and personality only, when there was a very real chance your own survival would depend on them?

Filled with compelling lessons in team work, leadership, camaraderie, and sheer grit and determination that are as useful today as they were 100 years ago, this book reveals methods that you can immediately put to use in your personal and business life.
