Published July 20, 2026Vicki Anstey on Why ‘Other People Are Like the Weather’
Almost downing aged six was a catalyst for a life of conformity, shaped by inner fear. Vicki Anstey bravely went in search of who she really was aged 40, leaving a controlling marriage and successful business behind, and unexpectedly became a world record-breaking adventurer.
Vicki pushed herself to the limit in SAS Who Dares Wins, rowed the Pacific unsupported, tackled marathons in the frozen Arctic and sweltering heat of the desert but stresses you don’t have to go to extreme lengths to find yourself and make change. It can be one small step at a time.
In Vicki’s candid memoir – Other People are Like the Weather – she shares her epic adventures and offers practical steps to help us stop managing the forecast and start mastering ourselves.
