About this listen

 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.

I really enjoued the story telling. I know nothimg about tracking lions and even less how it applies to my growth & development. The author made the connection for me and was able to provide some valuable life lessons I can use right now.

Definitely worth the credit & your time.

I personally enjoyed the way the author spoke and the wild at heart attitude of finding your path through his experience, gives us the ability to learn by what you do not just what you hear on the life of the safari or streets of the big city.

Wild at heart as the lion is, so shall the tracker

What a treat to have come across Boyd’s fine piece of work. I heard about this book when the author was interviewed by on the Tim Ferris Show podcast (Jan 2022) and then listen to the audiobook. Through entrancing stories of growing up in the wilds of eastern South Africa, the author draws a beautiful metaphor between the ancient art of lion tracking and how modern people can find their own way through life. This book is for those who know where they are going and for those who don’t. Excellent at helping us become “unstuck”, this book teaches the reader to pay attention to life’s clues while not overthinking our own paths. A short yet delightful read/listen which will likely be reread and relistened to many times, I highly recommend this book.

This book should be in everyone’s library
