The bestseller
to Marc's Keynote

After his talk, the audience usually flocks straight to the "bookstall" to meet Marc in person, ask him questions and take away a signed copy of his book.

Resilience bestseller

Marc's Spiegel bestseller has established itself as a standard work on resilience. An exciting and pragmatic guide to resilience in everyday life and in exceptional situations alike.

Hand-signed by the author

At the book table, Marc Wallert signs his Spiegel bestseller in a personal exchange with your guests. This encounter is always a special highlight - also for Marc.

The perfect take away

Marc's hand-signed copies of the book are the perfect take-away for the participants of your event. Ideal for further study or as a gift. Either way, your event will be remembered and talked about for a long time to come.

Ideas for your event marketing

The book as an event booster

„Strength Through Crises“ became a SPIEGEL bestseller and serves many as a „travel guide through the jungle of life“.

The book provides very personal insights and background to Marc's abduction into the jungle. But it goes far beyond that. In the second part of his book, Marc shares what he learned from his burnout and how others can also emerge stronger from such crises.

During the talk, Marc will share some of his „jungle strategies“ (approx. 4-8, depending on the wishes of the organizers). In the book, your guests will also receive further resilience techniques for everyday life. This is why most organizers book the book package together with the Keynote.

About the book

Marc Wallert's Spiegel bestseller "Strength Through Crises"

Summary

Together with 20 other hostages, Marc Wallert was abducted by terrorists to an island in the Philippines and held captive there in the jungle for 140 days. 20 years later, he talks about survival strategies and what he learned from this experience. The jungle didn't break him back then, but the everyday life afterwards drove him into a burn-out. In order to understand this, he went in search of clues and concentrated on the decisive moments - the crises.

In this book, he explains effective strategies for everyday private and professional life that can help you get through crises and even become strong.

Do you have any questions?

We have compiled some of the most frequently asked questions for you here. Haven't found the right question yet? Get in touch!

Is your book more of an autobiography or a guidebook?

Both and. On the one hand, I take my readers on an extremely personal journey through my life. On the other hand, I transfer the insights from my life crises to their everyday lives. My jungle strategies, such as acceptance and optimism, are scientifically well documented. In this respect, my jungle strategies are relevant to everyday life, especially in times of permanent global crises.
Incidentally, I don't describe my book as a guidebook, but as an „inspirational guide“. After all, there is no magic formula for resilience, because every person and every crisis is very individual. We all have our own survival strategies. But many of the things that have helped me in my life also help other people.

Is it worth reading the book if you have already heard Marc's lecture?

Absolutely! The book goes far beyond Marc's abduction into the jungle. For example, it contains a complete chapter full of resilience techniques for everyday life.

Can you sign your books individually for us?

With pleasure! Preferably live on site. The personal encounters at the book table are even a special highlight for many Keynote guests and also for Marc. There's room for a personal exchange with Marc. And the opportunity to buy a special souvenir for someone - a Spiegel bestseller with a personal dedication from the author.
