Summary
Trained Royal Marines sniper, world record breaker and extreme TV adventurer Aldo Kane is known for his ability to navigate and lead through challenging and pressured environments, whether it be abseiling into an erupting volcano in the Democratic Republic of Congo, rowing the Atlantic, getting locked in a bunker for 10 days with zero daylight, leading Steve Backshall into the jungle or being held at gunpoint....
In his debut audiobook, Lessons from the Edge, Aldo will inspire listeners with his jaw-dropping stories and show them how to survive and thrive through sheer strength of mind and sharp decision-making. It will reveal how this tough military man was able to cope with suddenly feeling worthless, how he overcame doors literally slamming in his face, how he came to realise that you can't wait for things to happen and instead how he rediscovered his identity and harnessed his emotions to his advantage to find determination, purpose and a renewed sense of belonging. And how, to use his own words, he became the captain of his own ship.
Aldo is a firm believer that with the right head game, however hard it feels, you can get through anything life throws at you. Lessons from the Edge will inspire listeners to find the spirit to do the things in life they've previously been too scared to tackle, build the courage to know that failure isn't the end and the knowledge that the impossible can be made possible.

Great adventurer but didn’t come across as it should
I like Aldo, but this didn’t quite hit the mark for me. Maybe it was the narration but it didn’t excite / interest me like Ant Middleton or Jason Foxes books.
There was even a chapter I had to skip part way through (the tigers) as it was too upsetting. I know this horrible trade takes place but I don’t want to have to listen to the graphic details.
This doesn’t take away from the admiration I have of the man who has achieved so much, however this book just didn’t work for me

A call to action
Almost unbelievable stories told in a lovely Scottish accent 😂
A real call to action for anyone needing a kick up the arse

This hits home
As expected a brilliant book from Aldo very well put together and look forward to a sequel of the next chapters of his life. Even thanked me personally on Instagram for telling people about it.

A great read/listen
This book is a little different from many of the books written by ex military focusing on his life after his time in the marines.

Great inspirational book
Great book really inspired me to look at my own life and make some changes. Aldo comes across as a top bloke and is very honest with his storytelling. I would highly recommend it.
