About this listen

In Remarkable People, Dan Walker, the host of BBC1's Breakfast, recounts inspiring stories of the courage and selflessness of people he has met throughout his career. An uplifting tonic for the darkness and negativity of recent times.

We live in an age of anxiety, besieged by bad news and uncertainty. But Dan Walker, the host of BBC1's Breakfast and Football Focus, is determined to shine a light onto stories of selflessness and compassion that seldom make the headlines.

In the course of his professional life, Dan has encountered many inspiring stories of bravery and kindness. In Remarkable People, he recounts tales of incredible humanity, empathy and compassion, and a steely determination to transform lives, restore trust and renew hope.

Remarkable People is the perfect book for these challenging times - an escape from the negativity of our everyday news cycle and a tribute to courage and positivity.

Having Dan in my ears every morning this week as I walked the dog has been a joy! Amazing stories of remarkable ordinary people, I have laughed and cried in equal measure. Loved it and am inspired to talk less and listen more. :)

The best dog walks I've ever had!

This book has had my in an array of emotions from start to finish. The way Dan tells the stories of others is amazing. The true highlight is the amazing people documented. I have been left with goosebumps, chills, and in tears while listening to this book. It's a true uplifter in times of great struggle. I feel inspired by these stories and implore anyone to access it in whatever way they can.

Thank you Dan Walker for a book showing that goodness ,duty and compassion is far stronger than any negative,cruel actions and comments that are so prevalent today,especially in the media and on the internet.
The chapter about GarySpeed was extremely moving and insightful, his sons were so honest and open.
The whole issue of coping with mental health and what life throws at us was the core to all these stories.
Let’s hope for more understanding and less judgment.
