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. Belinda Kirk is a wise champion and ADVENTURE REVOLUTION is a great companion to help on that journey

A really enjoyable, inspiring and convincing book. It wins the argument for seeking adventure in life

Tristan Gooley

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!

An inspiring and enjoyable book with an important and groundbreaking new message. From her unrivalled experience of leading groups, Belinda shows us that adventure - whether it be a simple overnight camp in Britain or white water rafting on the Zambezi River - can transform us

Tom Kemp, Emeritus Fellow of St John's College, Oxford University

ADVENTURE MIND provides the reader with an in-depth connection to what adventure can mean to a person's life. Using a wide variety of references and examples, the book presents an exploration of the benefits that adventure activities and experiences can be experienced in a personally relevant and intrinsically meaningful way
