The Lion Tracker's Guide To Life

By: Boyd Varty

Narrated by: Boyd Varty

Somewhere deep inside, you know what your gift, purpose, and mission are. Boyd Varty, a lion tracker and life coach, reveals how the wisdom from the ancient art of tracking can teach you how to recognize these essential ingredients in a meaningful life.

Know how to navigate, don’t worry about the destination, and stay alert. These are just a few of the strategies that contribute to both successful lion tracking and a life of fulfillment. When we join Boyd Varty and his two friends tracking lions, we are immersed in the South African bush, and, although we learn some of the skills required for actual tracking, the takeaways are the strategies that can be applied to our everyday lives. Trackers learn how to use all of their senses to read the environment and enter into a state of “greater aliveness.” When we learn to find and follow our inner tracks, we learn to see what is deeply important to us. In the same way the trip in the classic Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance was a vehicle to examine how to live out our values, the story of this one-day adventure—with danger and suspense along the way—uses the ancient art of tracking to convey profound lessons on how to live a purposeful, meaningful life of greater harmony.

Incredible

I was first made aware of Boyd Varty, and his book on the Tim Ferriss Show podcast. If you enjoyed his telling, you will love his conversation with Tim. Truly an incredible human being. This audiobook was an adventure in itself, and I only wish there was more to listen to.

Loved it.

This book came at the perfect moment in my life. Truly transformative. A must read.

Full of insight

Insightful and deeply felt narrative for a more sensitive way of living in the world.

An absolute masterpiece!

Dr. Boyd Varty is a masterful storyteller, inspiring us with the powerful narrative of his unique personal journey. Within the pages of this book, he beautifully intertwines his experiences at Londolozi Game Preserve, the legacy of its skilled wildlife trackers, and our deep, shared yearning to reconnect with our wild essence, the natural world, and each other. This book is a true gem, reflecting the brilliance of Boyd himself.

Strong

This is strong story telling and guidance. The narration is almost as good as Trevor Noah in Norman’s crime. Looking forward to participating in one of the adventures
