Summary

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.

interesting life and adventures

I heard an interview on a podcast with Aldo that intrigued me to seek out his book. I didn't know anything about his life or his work prior to this and had never seen him on TV. This all meant his book was interesting and engaging. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Worthy of my first review

There was something about this audiobook that hooked me more than any of the others I listened to.
I think it was Aldo’s frank and in depth descriptions of details that don’t normally get disclosed.
One of the best Audiobooks I have listened to, so much so I thought it was worth of my first ever review.
10/10 Aldo
