Forget routine; now is the time to embrace the unknown, step out of your comfort zone and open the gateway to The Art of Exploration.

'Britain's best loved adventurer' (The Times) talks about his secrets of discovery for the first time in this revealing manual of what it means to be an explorer in the modern age. The man who has walked the Nile, the Himalayas and the Americas discusses his lessons from a life on the road, how he managed to turn a passion into a lifestyle, and what inspired and motivated him along the way.

Wood explains how he and other explorers face up to life's challenges, often in extraordinary circumstances, and demonstrate resilience in the face of overwhelming odds. He shares examples of pioneers in many fields, using their work to show how we can all develop our own explorer's mindset and how these lessons can be applied in daily life.

With chapters on curiosity, teamwork, resilience, and positivity, this is a book that provides a toolkitβ€”no matter your age or profession. As Levison says, 'these lessons can help you to fulfil your potential for living a happy life, regardless of your circumstances'.
