Add to basketPaperback. After coming terrifyingly close to suicide, Jake Tyler was determined to take back control of his life from the clutches of depression. With only his running gear and a backpack, he stepped out of his house in Brighton and began a 3,000-mile journey around the UK. In documenting every step of his journey, Jake shares the ways in which his mission was enhanced by the kindness of strangers who took him in for the night, or let him talk when the darkness engulfed him. This is both the story of Jake's journey around the country and his journey to better understand himself, ultimately finding peace and acceptance with his mental health. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Jake Tyler had forgotten how to feel alive.
With only a pair of boots and a backpack, he set off on a 3000-mile walk around Britain - along coastal paths, over mountains, through every national park.
His journey became his road to recovery. On it he rediscovered the British landscape, the extraordinary kindness of strangers and most importantly, his place in the world.
This is his inspiring story, away from the wild edge.
