When Your Life Depends On It, decision-making lessons from the Antarctic, by Brad Borkan and David Hirzel

Very small teams – teams of two or three people - have shaped our world and built our future.


They have come together for:

  • Women’s rights (Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton)

  • Invent the airplane (the Wright Brothers)

  • Explore our world (Hillary and Tenzing on Everest)

  • Fly to the moon (Apollo astronauts)

  • Entertain us (Gilbert and Sullivan, Rodgers and Hammerstein)

And excel in art, design, music, pop culture, comedy, Hollywood movies, and so much more.


This book tells their stories and reveals the amazing power of Very Small Teams.
