Description

“Author Bruce Kay explores this puzzle in Autonomy, Mastery and Purpose. Drawing from the experiences of his peers and his own 35 years as a climber, skier and avalanche professional, Kay explains why avalanche country demands a unique mindset of managing risk by consideration of the unknown as much as the known. He explores related topics, including:

  • The Siren Song of Culture
  • Intuition and Bias – what is the difference
  • Optimism and Luck – do we roll the dice or calculate risk?
  • The Expert Illusion
  • Strategic Mindset”
