Megan Hine - Mind of a Survivor

Frozen tundra and sweltering deserts; treacherous mountains and hurtling rapids. Megan Hine is no stranger to perilous conditions, or the strength it takes to navigate them. She has explored the corners of the globe in pursuit of adventure; leading expeditions and bushcraft survival courses, and working on television shows such as Bear Gryll's Mission Survive and Running Wild.

Whether it’s extreme weather, lack of food or the thread of predators, wild conditions can be the ultimate test of character - but often the greatest challenge is in our heads. In tough situations, the human mind is simultaneously our greatest asset and worst liability.

Not everyone thrives in the great outdoors and when danger calls, few are well-equipped to survive: no amount of top-of-the-range kit will save you without the right mindset. Mind of a Survivor explores the human capacity and instinct for survival, showing us how others have developed the attitudes and attributes to thrive in the most dangerous situations, and how those same qualities can help us confront adversity at work and at home.

From running through the jungle with armed opium guards in pursuit, to abseiling past bears and lighting fires with tampons, Megan has seen and done it all. She invites her reader along on life-and-death adventures, uncovering just what happens when human beings are pushed to their limits. Seeking to inspire rather than instruct, she shares the tools and tactics that have saved her life and their relevance to the everyday - from careers to relationships, from work pressure to decision making. Mind of a Survivor is packed with adventure and the wisdom gleaned from a life on the edge; an essential guide to survival in any situation life throws at us.
