About The Lion Tracker's Guide To Life

Product Description 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. Review "A quiet, delightful, unsettling read."—Booklist  "A beautiful, timely book that will unleash brave minds. Packed with the rare wisdom one feels emanating off a human who has spent a lifetime attuned to and tested by nature." —Josh Waitzken, author of The Art of Learning "This book is a treasure map. It leads to precious things we all need, through an ancient experience too few of us will ever have: tracking wild creatures through wild places. With his vivid, elegant storytelling, Boyd Varty invites us into his wilderness, and into the wilderness within each of us. He teaches us to follow the trail of something elusive and powerful within us. The Lion Tracker’s Guide to Life will help you find, honor, befriend, and ultimately live in harmony with your own true nature." —Martha Beck, author of Finding Your Own North Star From the Author Everyone is looking for something and trying to find their way to something in their own lives whether personally, professionally, in relationships or with family. Trackers do this and the tools of the tracker can be applied to one's own life.  Right now we realise that the way humanity is living is having a detrimental effect on the environment and people are looking around and asking if this is what life is all about?   What will it take to find your way to a life that feels like a fuller expression of who you are and what your creativity is? People who discover this create lives that are unique, unconventional and full of purpose. The life tracker creates an outer life that is a deeper reflection of their inner values by paying attention and tracking their internal guidance system.  This book is about connecting with nature and connecting with the nature inside of oneself. The ancient art form of tracking awakens a primal magnetism and understanding in people. There is a deep desire to people to connect with nature - the natural world is speaking to us, it is full of wisdom. There is a place inside each one of us that knows what aliveness and fulfilment feel like. This is the wild self. Overlaying this is the social self that makes us lose touch with the wild self which is bound to the rhythms of the earth and the truest version of ourselves.  Tracking is science, mythology, an art form and a toolkit. The book is a journey about the quest to track a pride of lions but it is also about getting the reader to start to think about stepping onto the trail of their own life to discover what it is they are looking for. Tracking is the first story that humanity ever told, it takes you places that you would never have expected to go.  The book offers:  - A Common language to connect people to their wild self  - Nature pres
