The first book to explain why adventure is essential to our wellbeing
Adventure Revolution: The life-changing power of choosing challenge is the first book to explain why adventure is essential to wellbeing. It puts an energizing and groundbreaking case for ditching the living room in favour of a longer, happier, and more adventurous life.
Drawing on lessons I’ve learnt from more than two decades of leading groups into the wilderness around the globe, my own research with modern hunter-gatherers, and the latest findings in neuroscience and psychology, I show how adventure has the power to transform the timid into the confident, the addicted into the recovering, and the lost into the intentionally wandering.

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 -- Honor Wilson-Fletcher MBE, CEO British Exploring Society
A fascinating and convincing manifesto about the importance of adventure for all of us. I thoroughly enjoyed ADVENTURE REVOLUTION. 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! -- Helen Dodd, Professor of Child Psychology, University of Exeter
