ENDURANCE: The Greatest Adventure Story Ever Told

What a book! 

 

My two takeaways: 

1. Leadership at its finest. What I'd give for a dinner with Shackleton.  Sure, he wasn't perfect. But who is?  The strength and resolve required to keep that expedition together was outstanding. 

2. Hardship passes. If you're ever feeling like times are tough or you're uncomfortable, have a read of this. 

 

Jeez we were cut from different stuff back then. The resolve and resilience of all the men was amazing.

 Just to not give up and believe in their leader.  It does make me wonder if we would cope and follow the leader in this day and age...  Final thoughts. I learnt alot and about leadership and resilience from this book. Anyone who has an interest in either of these two topics will benefit greatly.  Well worth a read.
