In his latest book Everyday Survival: Why Smart People Do Stupid Things, survival expert Laurence Gonzales shows how modern society has made us lazy, numbing our awareness to the risks around us. This follow up to his highly acclaimed Deep Survival, which offered advice on surviving extreme situations such as being lost in the wilderness, encourages us to cultivate curiosity, awareness and attention so that we are better prepared to navigate the hazards of everyday life. Whether you are climbing a mountain or the corporate ladder, this presentation will change the way you view your choices in our complex and increasingly dangerous world.

Copies of Everyday Survival will be available for sale and signing after the presentation.
