About the book:
From the internationally beloved YouTube adventurer and National Geographic TV host Eva zu Beck comes a singular and fearless new travel memoir packed with inspiration for leading a more vibrant, wild, and authentic life.
Nearly a decade ago, Eva quit her high-paying job, left her picture-perfect marriage, and bought a one-way ticket to Nepal. What she didn’t know then was that she was embarking on a journey that would take her from Mongolia’s wilderness to Yemen’s remote islands to the Arctic Circle—and ultimately to a life of profound meaning and purpose. In THE WILDER WAY, Eva chronicles her transformation from someone living society’s idea of a best life to a person discovering the truth of her own. With the same authenticity and courage that have inspired her devoted 4 million social media followers, Eva offers a blueprint for anyone who longs to create a life of genuine adventure, connection, and meaning. In their starred review, Kirkus said, "Similar to Cheryl Strayed’s Wild… [Zu Beck] proves to be a captivating storyteller. . . . An inspiring, action-packed journey to find one’s self through perilous adventures in exotic, far-flung destinations.”
About the author:
Eva zu Beck has produced, filmed, and presented content for global platforms including the BBC, Deutsche Welle, Euronews, and National Geographic, where she currently hosts Superskilled, a show exploring human potential in remote locations worldwide.

Originally from Poland and educated at Oxford University, Eva now lives a nomadic life, continuing to push boundaries and inspire others to live more wildly and freely.
