Clarity, resilience, cooperation – the same skills that can save us in extreme circumstances can inspire us in our everyday life.
From a great Italian mountaineer a practical and effective guide to be at our very best in any situation.

When climbing the mind is always focused, endlessly calculating options and consequences, and the heart remains silent to make way for accurate and objective assessments – for even the smallest error can put your life and the life of others at risk. When survival is a matter of will, the mind becomes sharper and knows best. Marco Confortola, the «8.000 meter peaks hunter», knows this all too well. After surviving a
dramatic accident in 2008 he took up climbing again and is now an expert in Alpine rescues in extreme conditions. His unique analysis and reaction skills have also proven invaluable in many everyday settings, whether personal or professional. In this book he shares his experience and the lessons climbing has taught him. How do you keep yourself cool at times of tension? How do you assess priorities? How do you
manage a team?
Because the «lessons the mountains teach us» are universal guidelines that can change the life of each and every one of us.
