This is truly a 5 star book, especially the audible edition. Such a captivating story. The straight facts about the journey are engaging enough, but Alfred Lansing writes the story in such a way to amplify the events and the challenges of Shackleton's voyage to make it into something special. I felt like I experienced a real part of the stresses and a real part of the joys as this book played out. I felt cold when they felt cold, despaired when they felt despaired and relieved when they felt relieved.

Given that Frankl wrote this book in less that a week, this is an exceptional read. He does an excellent job at setting the environment which gives his advice weight and validity. I whole heartedly recommend this book, but would offer some advice to those who want to read it: The take away from this book can be easily missed as he doesn't elaborate much on his conclusions. The conclusions, however brief and excellent indeed
