Aldo Kane is an adventurer and World Record Holder with over 20 years' experience working in some of the most extreme, remote and inhospitable places on the planet; Lessons From The Edge will show readers that with the right mindset, you can get through anything life throws at you.
Lessons From The Edge tells the story of Aldo Kane's career and his ability to stare the unknown squarely in the face. But this book isn't just about the physical drama of gun shots, volcanos, Narcos gangs and rhinos, it's about mind over matter and its ability to get you out of any situation. What Aldo shows us is that sometimes fear isn't obvious, it can be more of an insidious enemy that you can't see, one that ambushes you when you least expect it. Life sometimes requires resilience and strength on a whole different level. It is about survival of the mind as well as the body.
His debut book will take you through adventures chapter by chapter as Aldo experiences them, whilst simultaneously showing you how to harness your emotions to your advantage, when all you really want to do is give up and give in. For every action-packed chapter there will be an alternate chapter outlining the principle pillars that Aldo applies to life, whatever the situation. Whether it's an emotion, reaction, ritual or a character trait, there are certain coping mechanisms that Aldo believes will help the reader apply some of his clarity to their own everyday situations.
