Publisher's summary

Somewhere deep inside, you know what your gift, purpose, and mission are. Boyd Varty, a lion tracker and life coach, reveals how the wisdom from the ancient art of tracking can teach you how to recognize these essential ingredients in a meaningful life.

Know how to navigate, don’t worry about the destination, and stay alert. These are just a few of the strategies that contribute to both successful lion tracking and a life of fulfillment. When we join Boyd Varty and his two friends tracking lions, we are immersed in the South African bush, and, although we learn some of the skills required for actual tracking, the takeaways are the strategies that can be applied to our everyday lives. Trackers learn how to use all of their senses to read the environment and enter into a state of “greater aliveness”. When we learn to find and follow our inner tracks, we learn to see what is deeply important to us. In the same way the trip in the classic Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance was a vehicle to examine how to live out our values, the story of this one-day adventure—with danger and suspense along the way—uses the ancient art of tracking to convey profound lessons on how to live a purposeful, meaningful life of greater harmony.

Incredible

I was first made aware of Boyd Varty, and his book on the Tim Ferriss Show podcast. If you enjoyed his telling, you will love his conversation with Tim. Truly an incredible human being. This audiobook was an adventure in itself, and I only wish there was more to listen to.

Tracking is something we can all do

I like the idea that the next step is the only step we need to worry about. All the steps have come later would be clear when we need to know.

Easy Listen

Easy, engaging listen! Only downside was I wish someone other than the author would have read it. The author’s voice was a little too monotone. Otherwise, a nice read to get yourself thinking about the track in your life!

Wonderful

Loved the intervention of raw lion tracking combined with how to integrate these principals into modern life to discover what we are instinctually gifted and happy with. Love the authors voice.

A deep calling

A profound book full of excitement, passion, insight, and deep wisdom all tied together in the telling of a single day in the wild. It’s a book I’ll read again and again in the coming years.
