Mags MacKean
Author Mags MacKean has drawn inspiration from mountains - quitting her BBC career to scale some of the highest peaks in the world. Her first book charts her hapless adventures, a crippling fear of heights - and the realisation how lasting change can't be external. Transferring the goal-driven values of a sea-level office life for an adrenaline-fuelled quest proved a short-lived high. "The Upside Down Mountain" explores what happens next: to venture earth-bound, the opposite direction - downhill. Ecologist and peace campaigner, Satish Kumar, has called it, "a new story for our time." Mags has immersed with shamans in the Amazon and South Africa. Drawing on her experiences as an inspirational speaker, she coaches individuals to develop their creativity and guides transformative journeys to Peru's ancient heartland.
