About the Book. In this revealing memoir, Simon Reeve recounts how a troubled adolescence and a moment of personal crisis became the unlikely catalyst for a life spent exploring some of the planet's most remote jungles, deserts, mountains and oceans. Long before he became known to millions through acclaimed BBC series such as Tropic of Cancer, Equator and Wilderness, Reeve left school without qualifications and struggled to find direction. Step By Step charts the extraordinary turning points that followed: dodging bullets on frontlines, walking through active minefields, and even being detained on suspicion of spying by the KGB. Alongside these high-stakes encounters, Reeve shares intimate reflections on fear, doubt and the human connections he made with people living in some of the world's most beautiful and dangerous regions. Readers are given genuine behind-the-scenes insight into the experiences and relationships that shaped his award-winning television career. Written in an honest, easy-going style, the book reads as much like a personal journey of self-discovery as it does a travel adventure, tracing how Reeve rebuilt his life step by step until he found purpose, confidence and a global platform for storytelling that continues to inspire viewers and readers alike..
