This week Flez leads our discussion of Part 3 from Endurance: Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing.

(4:38) When did you have to let go of something or someone that represented hope or comfort in your life? How did it affect you? How did you move forward?

(11:45) How do you balance between staying hopeful and realistic in tough situations? Have you ever had a time when you were blinded by optimism?

(15:51) If you were stuck in Shackleton’s crew, what’s the weirdest or funniest thing you’d do to keep everyone’s spirits up, and how do you think the crew would react?

(25:02) What rituals or routines have helped you endure a tough or uncertain period of your life? Why do you think these habits make such a big difference when everything else feels out of control?

Next week we’ll discuss Part 4 (pages 175 - 221).
