About this listen

Simon Reeve reveals more of his journeys, tales and lessons for life.

In Journeys to Impossible Places, best-selling author and presenter Simon Reeve reveals the inside story of his most astonishing adventures and experiences, around the planet and close to home.

Journeys to Impossible Places continues the story Simon started in his phenomenal Sunday Times best seller Step by Step, which traced the first decades of his life from depressed and unemployed teenager through to his early TV programmes.

Now Simon takes us on the epic and thrilling adventures that followed, in beautiful, tricky and downright dangerous corners of the world, as he travelled through the Tropics, to remote paradise islands, jungles dripping with heat and life and on nerve-wracking secret missions.

Simon shares what his unique experiences and encounters have taught him, and the deeper lessons he draws from joy and raw grief in his personal life, from desperate struggles with his own fertility and head health, from wise friends, fatherhood, inspiring villagers, brave fighters, his beloved dogs and a thoughtful Indian sadhu.

Journeys to Impossible Places inspires and encourages all of us to battle fear and negativity and embrace life, risk, opportunities and the glory of our world.

I love Simon Reeves and his superb programmes , journeys and books. This one rambles on a bit though and I found some of the side stories confusing with the chronology.
I think its been done in a bit of a hurry. I lost count of the use of the word "fundamental" and "profound". A bad edit.
It's a very philosophical book and I loved some of it. His wonder and joy at the birth of his son brought a tear to my eye and our shared experiences as an older dad resonates with myself.
A good book worth a listen .

Good but not his best

I read this with an open mind and certainly was challenged by the vast and varied needs of perseverance and determination of Simon and his crew

Challenging and informative

What a great audiobook, I felt like I was on the journey with him. He explains the world and people so beautifully. Really enjoyed Step by Step and this follow on book was just as interesting and addictive to listen to.

Another amazing book by Simon Reeves
