Erling Kagge, Legendary Explorer and Best-Selling Author
About this episode
On this Walker Webcast, Willy was joined by legendary explorer and bestselling author, Erling Kagge. Erling was the first explorer in history to reach the North Pole, South Pole, and the summit of Mt. Everest on foot. He was also the first to walk alone to the South Pole, and the lessons he learned along the way about silence and the meaning of life are invaluable.
He sat down with Willy at the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference to discuss his latest book, After the North Pole: A Story of Survival, Mythmaking, and Melting Ice . Their conversation explores the value of presence, the drive behind human adventure, the importance of gratitude, and what
Erling sees as the secret to a happy life.
