  Meet Dave. Dave is Prime Minister. Dave really wants to do the right thing. He keeps telling us he wants to do the right thing. Again and again and again. One afternoon he told us four times in half an hour.
  
  
  
  Then he went off and did the right thing. Every morning when he wakes up, he reminds himself to remind us that he's doing the right thing.
  
  
  
  But what is the right thing? And what is the wrong thing? And is doing the right thing the right thing or the wrong thing to do? Or is doing the wrong thing the right thing to do when doing the right thing might turn out to be the wrong thing, and doing the wrong thing might turn out to be the right thing?
  
  
  Next to doing the right thing, the most important thing is to let people know you are doing the right thing. JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER
  
  
  You can always count on Americans to do the right thing – after they've tried everything else WINSTON CHURCHILL
  
  
  Sometimes it is better to lose and do the right thing than to win and do the wrong thing TONY BLAIR
  
  
  If I lose the ball, I lose it trying to do the right thing. That's the way it is. FRANK LAMPARD

  The Adventurer's Handbook - From...

  Combining The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook and Into Thin Air, award-winning documentarian Mick Conefrey's The Adventurer's Handbook draws lessons from the glory days of exploration. 
  What makes a good explorer? Adaptability, ambition, stamina, self-confidence, curiosity, optimism, authority—and fundraising ability. Though few of us will ever have to face a charging elephant, or survive solely on penguin stew, when it comes to project management, crisis aversion, or any number of everyday problems, there is much we can learn from the larger-than-life tales of the world's most famous adventurers. 
  Here, award-winning documentarian Mick Conefrey pulls practical advice from their original diaries and logs, like how to survive an anaconda attack (wait until it has swallowed your legs, then reach down and cut its head off), and how to keep morale up (according to Ernest Shackleton, "A good laugh doesn't require any additional weight"). In addition to the wonderful characters and stories, this book offers many lessons on how to set sail without a clear path home. 
  Answers to some important questions, courtesy of The Adventurer's Handbook: 
  * How many corpses are believed to be on Mt. Everest? 
  Answer: 120 
  * How is polar bear meat best prepared? 
  Answer: Raw and frozen. 
  * What do you do if attacked by a charging lion? 
  Answer: Stand very still and stare it down. 
  * What should you wear when crossing a desert? 
  Answer: Lots of layers—fabric absorbs sweat and prolongs its cooling action.
