However, Yossi Ghinsberg lived to tell the amazing story. As well as how the ordeal profoundly affected his understanding of himself and his life purpose.

The following decade of his life he dedicated to the treatment and rehabilitation of opiate addicts across the globe.

Real Survival vs Imaginary Survival
Drawing from his experiences of survival in the Amazon jungle, Yossi understands that imaginary survival can be far more dangerous than real survival.
Real Survival means immediate and palpable danger to dear life. Such circumstances are rare, yet when they occur to our surprise we rise and meet them naturally. In fact, real survival equals peak performance.
Imaginary Survival is far more prevalent and dangerous than Real Survival and can be the cause of most of our diseases and distress.
As we grew apart from natural life the cue that activates our survival stopped coming from our senses and was replaced by our mind. It is our mind, not our senses that activate our survival mode and our mind always perceive that we are in real danger while in fact, we are only facing the challenges and problems of our busy lives.
Humanity as a whole is suffering from chronic sympathetic stimuli. This causes stress and brings disease and disintegration.
It is instrumental to understand Real Survival and Imaginary Survival to be discerning in real-time and to learn how to fix the bug in our system, as in false activation and its terrible consequences.
Yossi can teach audiences how to be discerning in real-time, and how to switch from Survival mode to dealing with challenges efficiently by providing the audience with the following takeaways:
- Real Survival equals peak performance as all faculties mental, physical, emotional and spiritual kick in to make a superhero out of you.
- Imaginary Survival converts life-saving hormones to Life-threatening poison. Life means challenges and problems, accept that as long as one lives, this is how it is.
- Challenges and problems are not life-endangering. If you still have food in the fridge and a safe place to sleep tonight you are not in survival circumstances.
- It is not efficient to tackle challenges and problems in survival mode.
- Never has humanity been so much exposed to information – our minds have become restless. We need to learn how to be discerning.
- Audiences will receive initial training on how to mechanically switch the body from survival mode to relaxation mode
The Power To Survive
After a tragic separation from his friends, one man is lost alone for weeks in the heart of the Amazon with no food or weapons, in the midst of the worst rainy season in decades.

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.

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.

Collaboration, Innovation, Survival
After a tragic separation from his friends, one man is lost alone for weeks in the heart of the Amazon with no food or supplies, in the midst of the worst rainy season in decades.
This keynote presentation is based on Yossi's international bestseller 'Jungle', now a major motion picture starring Daniel Radcliffe as Yossi.
A key insight from Yossi’s harrowing story is that the law of the Jungle itself relies on collaboration. Working intelligently with his changing conditions, Yossi was able to perceive innovative ideas vital to his survival.

Jungle is the incredible true story of Yossi Ghinsberg's triumph over the most adverse and frightening of circumstances. It is a tale of survival and human fortitude against the wildest backdrop on the planet.
