Once upon a time, Eva Zu Beck was a young, well-paid corporate executive living the high life in London with a handsome, equally successful fiancé́ on her arm. It was a seemingly picture-perfect life, but Eva felt deeply unfulfilled. Within a year, she had quit her job, left her marriage, and bought a one-way ticket to Nepal. What began as an impulsive decision became a transformative seven-year journey that would take her across the globe--and, ultimately, to a life of pro-found meaning and purpose. Through heart-pounding adventures and raw, intimate storytelling, Eva reveals how stepping off life's conventional highway--what she calls the path of "marriage, mortgage, lineage"--opened her world to experiences she never imagined possible: learning to trek solo with horses across Mongolia, surviving during Covid-19, driving a sixteen-year-old truck from Mexico to Alaska, and attempting a 320-mile ultramarathon in the Arctic Circle. The Wilder Way is the real and messy story of how Eva navigated the world alone in search of her own authentic path, and it's a road map for anyone who feels trapped by Society's expectations and longs to create a life of genuine exploration and meaning.
