📚 Lecture: “The Psychology of Survival: An Adventurer's Guide”
🎤 Speaker: Dr. Natalie Bonthius
Join us for a thought-provoking evening with Dr. Natalie Bonthius as she delves into the intriguing question: why do people make baffling, sometimes fatal choices in situations they could survive? With insights from her experiences as an emergency physician and wilderness medicine specialist, Dr. Bonthius explores the mind's behavior under extreme stress.
In this captivating talk, she will discuss how fear, cold, exhaustion, and isolation can warp perception and shut down problem-solving capabilities. Using real stories from mountains, deserts, and disaster zones, she will reveal the mental traps that emerge during crises and explain why gear and skill alone aren’t sufficient for survival. Attendees will learn how small shifts in mindset can significantly improve survival odds, providing a compelling look at how our brains respond when the stakes are highest and how to maintain clarity when things go sideways.
Dr. Natalie Bonthius is a Dartmouth emergency physician and wilderness medicine expert, founder of Survival Med, and known for translating complex medical and psychological concepts into engaging, practical lessons for outdoor athletes and adventurers.
