Product Information

I also want this book to show a different side to adventure tales; so this isn’t just about the physical drama of gunshots, life or death experiences and exploding volcanos. In his debut book, Lessons From The Edge, Aldo aims to inspire readers with his "jaw-dropping" stories and show them how to survive and thrive through sheer strength of mind and sharp decision-making, says the publisher.

Aldo will also talk honestly and openly about his personal battles: how he overcame doors literally being slammed in his face, rediscovered his identity, and how he harnessed his emotions to his advantage to find determination, purpose, and a renewed sense of belonging. Aldo Kane is a superb motivational keynote speaker drawing on his rich and varied life with resilience featuring as a key theme. TV in a way puts you across as a hardman but really I get in situations all the time where I’m scared or worried and I talk about how that feels and how I got out of that. Aldo saw active military service from Northern Ireland to the Middle East and became a survival expert in many environments. We’ve been taking groups to incredible places for almost 50 years, which is why we’re excited to join forces with Aldo.In his debut book, Lessons From The Edge, Aldo will inspire readers with his jaw-dropping stories and show them how to survive and thrive through sheer strength of mind and sharp decision-making.
