  • Finding Resilience Lessons Learned from Getting Lost in the Borneo Jungle

    by Steve Camkin

    When plans for a rendezvous with local guides went awry, author Steve Camkin, Ph.D., and his trekking partner, Mukhtar Makussara, found themselves in a remote corner of the Borneo jungle with little food, no maps, and no local guides. After making their own way, they emerged 16 days later onto a riverbank where they were able to attract the attention of locals who had been searching for them.

    Finding Resilience: Lessons Learned from Getting Lost in the Borneo Jungle describes strategies you can use to:

    • Analyze a life or business situation you have been thrust into
    • Deal with emotional and mental disorientation
    • Survive, adapt and thrive in ambiguous situations
    • Maintain resilience while dealing with setbacks
    • Extract learning from life’s challenges
