Three books in three months. Written in defiance of injury, published with a love for truth. Direct, heartfelt, and unfiltered.
Healthy Childhood (English - 120 pages) is no ordinary psychological parenting manual – it is a sobering slap in the face that throws you from the very first second into a trench war against digital lobotomy.
Boris Stermotich – Ris, a survival instructor with thirty years of experience in educating children and youth, uncompromisingly channels his field mission into a battle plan for modern families. Following his personal rule that survival is learned exclusively outside the comfort zone, the author delivers brutally direct lessons that tolerate no leniency, tedious theories, or empty filler. The reader is thrown without hesitation straight into harsh reality: from confronting dangerous algorithms and the "Brain Rot" epidemic, to returning to the mud, lighting open fires, and building an unstoppable family "Dream Team".
Behind every shocking diagnosis of today's society, Stermotich skillfully and subtly weaves in concrete field challenges. Yet, much deeper than mere wilderness techniques, he instills in the reader the forgotten values of humanity, empathy, and unbreakable, wild self-confidence.
Who is this book for?
Conscious parents, mentors, and all those who refuse to be mere sponsors of digital addiction. This is literature that smells of campfire smoke, shatters modern parenting illusions, and above all, awakens the survival instinct and humanity in everyone who reads it.
Save the human being in your own child before it's too late! — F. Rerecich
Boris Stermotich (Ris) Born in Pula (Istria) in 1972, Boris is the founder of the first Croatian survival school, its first adventure club, and the first adventure academy dedicated to children and teenagers. His numerous initiatives share a single mission: educating the world on the importance of a childhood lived in the wild, rooted in authentic and adventurous experiences.
For thirty years, he has been forging entire generations in the great outdoors, working in the shadows, far from the spotlight and with no need for glory. A survival instructor with deep-rooted experience in the Alps and the Italian national schools FISSS and AICS, he often disappears into the black sands of Iceland and the world’s most remote wildernesses. He has worked across Italy, lived in Rome, coordinated humanitarian operations, and dedicated himself to protecting both people and Mother Nature, providing refuge to anyone in need. He has spearheaded classified projects for the Italian State and organized expeditions from the Sahara to the Himalayas — always without a rigid plan, but with one unwavering conviction: that this life is one great adventure to be lived to the fullest.
