Summary

*AN INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*

'As the title suggests, Waypoints is a rewarding mix of markers, both personal as he reflects on his life and geographical as he leads the reader along the West Highland Way' - The Scotsman

'A deeply personal and warmly entertaining memoir that fans of Sam - and Scotland - will have a joyful time devouring' - Heat

'From both his walk and his career, the common lesson is the power of persistence.' - The Times

'A pleasure for fans of the author, whisky, and Scotland.' - Kirkus

'Waypoints is a memoir with a difference! I wanted to tell the stories and share the experiences that have shaped me, but to do that I needed to challenge myself and spend some time in my own company, away from the distractions of everyday life. And for me there's no better place to reflect than in the wild Scottish Highlands.'

In this journey of self-discovery, Sam Heughan sets out along the West Highland Way to explore his heritage and reflect on the personal waypoints that define him. The result is a love letter to the wild Scottish landscape that means so much to Sam, and a charming, funny, wise and searching insight to the world through his eyes.

The walk itself is the backdrop for this narrative, which tells the story of Sam's life while exploring his outlook, values and interests. Sam is a figure of fascinating contrasts, a Hollywood star with deep roots in rural Scotland, he's both outgoing and content in his own company. He has strong connections with his fans while recognising the fragility and value of anonymity, and in My Peak Challenge he has created a network that brings people together as they chase individual goals. In his new book, while charting a path through a stunning wilderness, Sam maps out the moments that shaped his views on dreams and ambition, family, friendships, love and life.

Waypoints is a deeply personal journey that reveals as much to Sam about himself as it does to his readers.

Sunday Times in the UK and New York Times bestseller in the US in November 2022.

Really enjoyed Sam narrating the book. He sets a real picture of how doing the west highland way really treats you. Made me laugh that Graham potentially had the opposite experience. The experiences have little snippets, voice recordings and quips with him narrating that you wouldn’t get from just reading, extra little bonuses that bring his journey to life in a very Sam humorous way. Some moments in the book made my heart sore. Like the story of LA and receiving a text with his bank balance. Love the sense of adventure and determination that Sam has in life. Also makes me want to visit Scotland so much. Great read!!

This book made me laugh in places (look out for the mushrooms).It also made me think hard about my own life when he talked about elements of his own.Good listen and make me want to go on the same walk, but obviously not in a short period of time, and definitely staying in hotels, not camping. 

Great, fun and very insightful
