Summary
In Remarkable People, Dan Walker, the host of BBC1's Breakfast, recounts inspiring stories of the courage and selflessness of people he has met throughout his career. An uplifting tonic for the darkness and negativity of recent times.
We live in an age of anxiety, besieged by bad news and uncertainty. But Dan Walker, the host of BBC1's Breakfast and Football Focus, is determined to shine a light onto stories of selflessness and compassion that seldom make the headlines.
In the course of his professional life, Dan has encountered many inspiring stories of bravery and kindness. In Remarkable People, he recounts tales of incredible humanity, empathy and compassion, and a steely determination to transform lives, restore trust and renew hope.
Remarkable People is the perfect book for these challenging times - an escape from the negativity of our everyday news cycle and a tribute to courage and positivity.

Be prepared to shead a tear or two
Dan's voice is so comforting as he reads his book. I feel that he is so genuinely interested in people and this comes across in the stories of people he has written about. Brilliant 👏 👏 👏

Wonderful
I m not sure why I chose this book, but am so glad that I did. I hardly ever watch tv but sometimes catch bits and pieces of the Breakfast programme as my husband watched it daily. Definitely remarkable people.

Fantasy listen
Written and narrated by Dan Walker this is a compulsive listen about some remarkable people who are not the rich or famous. Tear jerking at times but uplifting and full of hope.

Remarkable People, Dan Walker.....
When I saw this book, I had no idea just how I would feel as the book progresses. Dan Walker hasn't been on my radar as don't really watch TV in the mornings, but this book has had me laughing and crying in equal amounts. A stunning book of personal lives, Dan, this is a stunning piece of work!!!

The best dog walks I've ever had!
Having Dan in my ears every morning this week as I walked the dog has been a joy! Amazing stories of remarkable ordinary people, I have laughed and cried in equal measure. Loved it and am inspired to talk less and listen more. :)

Awe inspiring
This is an incredible book. Dan reads this with such emotion and dedication to each story he is telling.
I have never written a book review before, but once I downloaded this on Thursday, I spent every opportunity I had to listen to it, and finished it on the Sunday.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for that little bit of light at the end of the tunnel during this dreadful year of 2020.
Thank you Dan Walker for writing this incredibly touching book. I loved it. xx

A heartwarming and heartfelt must-read(listen)
A collection of stories about compassionate and inspiring people, written by a compassionate and empathetic person himself. I cried numerous times - don't drive while listening; the tears will get you!

Not to miss
“Remarkable” somehow doesn’t do this full justice. Inspiring, heart warming, eye opening, uplifting stories of real people. Thank you Dan for sharing.
