Reviews

A fascinating and convincing manifesto about the importance of adventure for all of us. I thoroughly enjoyed ADVENTURE MIND. The writing is really engaging and a perfect balance of anecdotes, explanations and science. As an academic working in this area I was really impressed by how thoroughly researched the book was and how convincingly it argues for why adventure experiences are so powerful and important. I challenge you to read this book and not immediately start trying to fit some more adventure into your life and the lives of those around you. There are some really nice, realistic, practical examples of how to get everyday adventures at the end of the book too. I have been recommending this book to all my friends and colleagues!

The perfect post-pandemic handbook for anyone wanting help to revitalise their life, increase their confidence, surprise themselves. Belinda Kirk makes clear that purposeful adventure in the twenty-first century can be for us all. Everyone who wants to should be enabled and encouraged to access and benefit from the genuinely life-defining experiences - the powerful magic that can happen - on even the smallest adventure.
