Topics for Yossi Ghinsberg

  • Real survival vs imaginary survival
    Never has humanity been exposed to so much information. Generations today are privy to wars and crises raging both near and far. As a result, humanity as a whole may be suffering from chronic sympathetic stimuli, states Yossi. Having learned about real survival during his time conducting research in the Amazon jungle, Yossi warns that imaginary survival is far more dangerous than real survival.
    Why? Because imaginary survival triggers a physical response that converts life-saving hormones into life-threatening poison. Allowing our restless minds to go into 'survival mode' unnecessarily causes chronic stress that brings disease and disintegration. Yossi can teach audiences how to be discerning, in real-time, and how to switch off survival mode to more efficiently deal with life's challenges.
    Key takeaways from Yossi's Real vs. Imaginary Survival presentation include:
    • Imaginary Survival is not only inefficient for tackling life's challenges, it also poisons the human system, converting challenges into illness and disease.
    • Real Survival mode lets us operate at peak performance. When necessary, all our faculties--mental, physical, emotional and spiritual--conflate to make a superhero out of you. It's not real survival mode that is the problem.
    • False activation of this 'fight or flight' survival system is the source of terrible health consequences. It's also extremely prevalent in today's world.
    • Instrumental training in how to discern danger and mechanically switch the body from survival mode to relaxation mode.
    • Audiences will learn how to discern between real, palpable danger and imaginary survival so you can fix this 'bug in our system' long before it causes disease or distress.

    Innovation: In flux, in flow
    In many industries, the rapid rate of change employees are facing can leave people feeling as though they are lost in the wilderness. Something Yossi Ghinsberg has experienced first hand. After a tragic separation from his friends, Yossi was lost alone for weeks in the heart of the Amazon with no food or defenses, in the midst of one of the worst rainy season for decades.
    Yossi translates his own lessons of survival – where every single moment left him at the mercy of the jungle, and his ability to adapt fast to the changing circumstances literally meant the difference between life and death – into effective strategies for those experiencing change in the work environment.
    This keynote presentation is based on Yossi's international bestseller 'Jungle', now a major motion picture starring Daniel Radcliffe as Yossi.
