From the back cover:
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 answers to a life purpose that had lay hidden in plain sight all along.
"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

A must listen
Ken's story is truly inspiring, from his humble beginnings to the development and success of his FrontlineSMS, which transformed mass communication in the underdeveloped world over SMS. In this book, Ken himself takes the listener through his extraordinary life, full of amazing experiences; so much to unpack in one book, one life! I was hooked from the beginning and would strongly recommend it.

Practical, passionate, honest & totally inspiring.
I love this book. It's so refreshing to hear Ken's honesty and humility, inspite of his own trailblazing successes in his pursuit of life long purpose and meaning. Highly recommended by me.
