Yossi Ghinsberg travels all over the world, sharing his survival
wisdoms. Ten secondson his website and you are able to download his
appearance on Larry King and a host of American chat shows. It’s no
wonder, he’s inspirational, and a truly gripping storyteller. I
certainly didn’t feel like I was getting the Anthony Robbins
motivational schtick, but after our chat I felt acutely aware of that
ancient survival part of myself. Damn, maybe I could survive without my
makeup bag and wonderbra.

Presenting a speaker who puts Survivor to shame
MAY 01, 2001 -- It was December 1981, and while most of us were
still musing over the fairy-tale nuptials of Charles and Di, or
aerobicizing to Olivia's Physical (it was the top-selling song of the
year), Yossi Ghinsberg was struggling to survive, and beat a path out
of the Brazilian rain forest. |
