On the Limit: A Week Without Self-Pity

“Hell Week” is a special course used in the Norwegian army to train special forces fighters. Erik Bertrand Larsssen, who went through that preparation, proposes a “civilian version”—a 7-day thoughtfully planned intense program that any person can handle, regardless of what they do. Why? To feel the taste of life, to understand the value of simple things, to learn what you’re truly capable of—and, above all, to get the impulse to change for the better.
