It's a story about struggle, finding a purpose in life, striving to build a fairer society, and discovering who you are along the way." How far would you go to find your purpose in life? Come on the unlikeliest of journeys as we follow one man's relentless search for purpose. Join him as he seeks answers in the African bush, the forests of Finland and everywhere in between, surviving pirate attacks, near-drownings and close encounters with lions along the way. Discover how a late-night motorcycle accident in Nigeria led to the creation of a text messaging system that would go on to benefit tens of millions of people around the world, and how a global pandemic helped uncover an incredible family history, and with it the answers to a life purpose that had lay hidden in plain sight all along.

"A book that will restore your belief that anything is possible, and that ordinary people really can lead extraordinary lives." - Rowena Luk, Head of Digital and Technology, ActionAid. "This book is an inspirational, real-life journey that shows what's possible if you explore life with curiosity, wonder and passion - the ideal mindset for anyone wanting to make the world a better place." - Alexander Moen, Chief Explorer Engagement Officer, National Geographic
