Description

Ben Fogle's life has been a series of unexpected adventures. From rowing across the Atlantic to surviving a flesh-eating tropical disease, he has faced numerous challenges and overcome them. This book tells the story of how he, a shy and homesick boy, ended up doing all this.

It's not a tale of derring-do for its own sake, but rather a story about defying expectations, conquering shyness, and battling laziness. Along the way, he has encountered remote tribespeople, caused a plane to make an emergency landing, and even been mistaken for a member of the royal family.

This book is a honest and humorous account of Ben Fogle's life, and will undoubtedly strike a chord with anyone who puzzles about their own life and how to live it differently.
