Finished reading: Endurance by Alfred Lansing 📚

Book cover features a ship trapped in icy terrain. The text reads: “Unabridged Endurance: Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing, 1959” Review: Can you imagine being shipwrecked? For over a year? In Antarctica? In 1914? Never have I heard such a tale of survival. Every time I thought they were finally going to get some good luck, a new disaster struck. And yet, Shackleton’s crew exemplified the amazing human ability to endure.My wife was required to read this back in college for a leadership class, and I can see why. Shackleton’s steadfast leadership throughout the journey kept the crew together — physically and emotionally — even at the brink of demise. A must-read. Rating: 👍👍
