About this listen

Trained Royal Marines sniper, world record breaker and extreme TV adventurer Aldo Kane is known for his ability to navigate and lead through challenging and pressured environments, whether it be abseiling into an erupting volcano in the Democratic Republic of Congo, rowing the Atlantic, getting locked in a bunker for 10 days with zero daylight, leading Steve Backshall into the jungle or being held at gunpoint....

In his debut audiobook, Lessons from the Edge, Aldo will inspire listeners with his jaw-dropping stories and show them how to survive and thrive through sheer strength of mind and sharp decision-making. It will reveal how this tough military man was able to cope with suddenly feeling worthless, how he overcame doors literally slamming in his face, how he came to realise that you can't wait for things to happen and instead how he rediscovered his identity and harnessed his emotions to his advantage to find determination, purpose and a renewed sense of belonging. And how, to use his own words, he became the captain of his own ship.

Aldo is a firm believer that with the right head game, however hard it feels, you can get through anything life throws at you. Lessons from the Edge will inspire listeners to find the spirit to do the things in life they've previously been too scared to tackle, build the courage to know that failure isn't the end and the knowledge that the impossible can be made possible.

Excellent

Best audio book I've listened to this year, very inspiring. I didn't realise how much he has done and how fascinating each adventure is. So many good chapters, surely another book is needed to tell more stories.

A great read/listen

This book is a little different from many of the books written by ex military focusing on his life after his time in the marines.

Adventure inspiration

I finished this audio book in no time as I absolutely loved it and found it a fascinating account of the many incredible adventures Aldo Kane has undertaken. Hilarious in parts and beautifully descriptive in others, each chapter covers the progress of Aldo's career from the Royal Marines to film and TV work and reading it gave me major wanderlust. His passion for learning and exploring the world is clear and I would especially recommend this book to young adults interested in the great outdoors or who want a career that is different from the usual 9-5 office. The book is an account of how Aldo upskilled himself and made his own success happen. What I especially enjoyed was the apparent lack of ego that can so often accompany many who are in the same field and are highly skilled individuals. My favourite chapters were his row across the Atlantic and his work on the documentary about the ebola outbreak. I really enjoyed hearing about his sniper training too. Lots of detail and fascinating. I've read just about every adventure book there is and this one is right up there for me. Loved it.
