Summary
Joel Lambert knows survival isn’t just about gear—it’s about mindset. As a former Navy SEAL and escape and evasion expert, he’s faced life-or-death situations that demand absolute focus. Dr. Phil sits down with Joel to break down the psychology behind fear, decision-making under pressure, and how mental toughness plays a role in everyday life. Joel also shares insights from A Navy SEAL’s Bug-In Guide, revealing how to prepare for disaster without losing control. Whether it’s a battlefield or personal crisis, survival starts in the mind, and Dr. Phil uncovers how we can all apply these lessons to our own challenges.
