Tougias relies on his many interviews with first responders, extraordinary leaders, extreme survivors, and psychological studies to share techniques to live your best life, reach peak performance, handle change and overcome challenges. He shares the tips and uses slides from some of the actual events he draws on for inspiration. Tougias also gives a personal account of the steps used to achieve a goal most said was beyond his reach: when he was 30 years old he set an objective to someday become a full time author, achieve the NY Times Bestseller List, and have a movie made of one of his books.
The NY Times Bestselling Author and Dynamic speaker says “I’ve relied on my years of research working with and reading the work of psychologists for my book No Will Set You Free and personally interviewing and examining studies on the most resilient people for Extreme Survival: Lessons From Those Who Have Triumphed Against All Odds. I want to share practical steps to help audience members achieve their full potential. And at the end of the program I share a dramatic personal story on how the steps and habits helped me.
