Summary
The latest adventure from best-selling author Ben Fogle explores what we can learn from nature about living well and living wild.
What can rowing across the Atlantic teach us about boredom and about patience? Can coming down from Everest take more resilience than climbing up in the first place? How can the isolation of the South Pole highlight what’s most important? And how can we tap into the same reflective state in our daily lives?
Writing during the unprecedented period of the coronavirus pandemic and drawing on a wealth of personal stories, Ben reflects on the significance of nature to all our lives and shows us how we can benefit from living a little more wild. Drawing on his greatest adventures, he shares what his time spent in the wilderness has taught him about life. Ranging across seas, icecaps, jungles and deserts, Ben’s stories are filled with wonder and struggle, with animals, adventure, wilderness, friendships, unexpected acts of kindness and heroism, and are bursting with inspiration directly from nature. Ben’s epic stories reveal a new side to his adventures and show how everyone can find meaning in the wilderness, even if it’s just outside their front door.
Full of exciting adventures and practical guidance, this primer on positivity is a story about overcoming obstacles, surpassing your expectations and inspiring your journey of adventure.

Really enjoyed Ben’s stories
I’ve been a fan of Ben’s for 20 years, i love hearing his stories and have been inspired by him to over come my own challenges. I do think he has a wobbly screw to do half of what he gets up to and his wife deserves a medal but he is one of a kind, kindness being the biggest part of his charter that i’m sure is why we all enjoy following him.

Ben Fogle
Ben is not just a posh, privileged individual.
He's courageous, and he's kind and thoughtful.
I can't believe that he receives negative comments to do with his origin and his public schooling.
Jealousy, Envy and Judgement are what the poor guy has to put up with. I would highly recommend the book. I learnt so much about Ben and I am amazed at all the adventures he's been on.
A life well lived, I'd say.

Great narration and an interesting read
I didn't know much about Ben Fogle and this book has definitely been an eye opener. I'm inspired to be less critical of others but I have to say after a strong start in the first half of the book it start to feel direction less.
Overall a good read, and the narration was excellent. I will seek out his other books now.

A modern day survival guide book
Very honest and insightful book which helps put life into perspective and the impact of consumerism on our lives.
Really enjoyed Ben’s open and honest dialogue about his personal challenge and has certainly challenged me to reflect on what is really important in life - thank you Ben

Wonderful, full of honesty hope and love
I've really enjoyed listening to this book. I always had the feeling from watching him on his various telly programmes that Ben is a really great fella. Listening to this book when I have despaired at the cynicism and hardness of the world around me has really kept me on track to believing the world is a great and wonderful place full of adventure and possibilities. The title is "Inspire" and this wonderful book has certainly inspired me to take chances and challenges and above see the good and the opportunity in whatever situation (good or bad) life gives you

Excellent book. Well with a read or listen.
I loved this book. Realistic, down to earth and inspirational all in one. I find many of my own views and thoughts regarding our planet, the wilderness and what we can do echoed by Ben.
After reading you feel lighter you just can go and do those scary things you've always wanted to.
