Topic - Extreme Survival: Lessons From Those Who Have Triumphed Against All Odds
Hi Squadron Members,
The April 27th, 2024 Nobscot Sail and Power Squadron / America's Boating Club of Metrowest Boston will hold its Change of Watch at Tavolino's Restaurant, Westborough, MA. There will be no change of officers so the Bridge will remain the same as last year. Mike Tougias, our favorite author & speaker, will be giving a slide presentation on his book, Extreme Survival: Lessons From Those Who Have Triumphed Against All Odds.
Tougias uses slides from some of the survival events to give the audience an edge-of-your-seat experience that also provides useful techniques that we can all use when faced with adversity or aspire to achieve a difficult goal.
The author has interviewed over 100 people who survived against all odds, and researched many historical figures who have achieved the near-impossible. He supplements their stories with a handful of first person accounts from some of the toughest survivors in history.
In this book, Extreme Survival, Tougias shares what he has learned about decision making under pressure and the mindsets and techniques survivors used to channel their energy into proactive decisions that saved their lives. He demonstrates that the same techniques can help anyone be more resilient when feeling overwhelmed or facing a seemingly insurmountable challenge in their personal or professional life. The methods shared can also be used by anyone who has an important goal – they provide inspiration and step by step practices to overcome obstacles and achieve a person’s full potential.
Some of the survivors he researched from history include John McCain, Mary Rowlandson (captive during King Philip’s Indian War), Howard Blackburn, Captain Bligh, Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl, mountain man Hugh Glass, Admiral Byrd, Shackleton, WWII pilot James Whittaker, Teddy Roosevelt, JFK (PT109), USS Indianapolis survivors, and many more from mountain climbers to early explorers of the new world.
