Your deepest instincts: How to build inner strength in nature

Coping alone in nature gives mastery, self-confidence and security.

Motivational coach Erik Bertrand Larssen has made many trips in the forest and the mountains: Sitting on his father’s back in a homemade
carrier; participating in demanding operations in Norway’s special forces; gone hunting with friends — and skiing alone to The South Pole. His thesis is that inner strength is built with practical skills and the ability to push one’s own limits: to stay warm through the night, but also tolerate getting cold. Finding food in nature, but not being afraid of going hungry for some time. This book is a guide to restoring the balance between the demands of modern life and our deepest instincts. It’s about finding your own primal strength. Would you dare to try a day and night alone in the forest, without aids?

Erik Bertrand Larssen’s books have sold more than 500.000 copies in Norway — and are translated to 13 languages.
