I’ve been in this life for fifty years, been trying to work out its riddle for forty-two, and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last thirty-five. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel, and things that made me laugh out loud. How to be fair. How to have less stress. How to have fun. How to hurt people less. How to get hurt less. How to be a good man. How to have meaning in life. How to be more me. Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries.

Mesmerizing
Revisado: 03-27-25
It was an amazing book: the story is visceral and captivating (especially in the first half),nand the way he is telling it is just a work of art. I loved it! At some point, "notes to self" started to get too repetive and lost their original charm for me. By the end, things got a bit rushed, too, not so raw anymore, and instead, a bit preachy. It's still an absolute treat, and I'm so happy Mathew Mcconhey

In this journey of self-discovery, Sam Heughan sets out along the West Highland Way to explore his heritage and reflect on the personal waypoints that define him. The result is a love letter to the wild Scottish landscape that means so much to Sam, and a charming, funny, wise and searching insight to the world through his eyes. Waypoints is a deeply personal journey that reveals as much to Sam about himself as it does to his audience.

A true gem
Revisado: 01-18-23
When I decided to read this book I didn't, in my wildest dreams, suspect that it would be one of the best books I've ever read/listened to. I knew it had high notes, but I was affraid it might be, at least in part, due to the somewhat biased fandom. It isn't. This book and Sam's delivery is a true gem, a literary treat, spectacularly narrated, gripping, emotional and thought-provoking. It's also funny (I could be often spotted roaming the streets with headphones in my ears and a broad grin on my face).
I've read several memoirs so far (4 or 5 maybe), but this book is something more. It reads as an adventure, reflexive novel. The language is amazing, the events, people and views are brought to life with a rare talent of making everything appear in the reader's head as though we experienced it together with the author.
Sam also has a genius ability to pick seemingly inconsequential events and turn them into the foundation of very essential narrative of his life story. And he tells these events with wit, insight, humor and honesty. He doesn't shy even from reaviling his rather curious relationship with certain representatives of Scottish flora :D
Sam's narration brings his memoir to yet a higher level. He lives the story. He laughs, whispers, yells, offers interjections. He invites us to thread the road with him. I felt as if someone who I was beginning to form a friendship with was telling me his life story. It was intimate in that sense.
As his fan, I am deeply grateful he allowed me to glimpse some part of who Sam Heughan is. And I admire him that much more for both doing exactly that and for the person he once again reveals himself to be.

Nearly two weeks early, on March 3, 1947, in the maternity ward of Beth Israel Hospital in Newark, New Jersey, Archibald Isaac Ferguson, the one and only child of Rose and Stanley Ferguson, is born. From that single beginning, Ferguson’s life will take four simultaneous and independent fictional paths. Four identical Fergusons made of the same DNA, four boys who are the same boy, go on to lead four parallel and entirely different lives. Family fortunes diverge. Athletic skills and sex lives and friendships and intellectual passions contrast.

Masterpiece
Revisado: 06-21-20
Simply one of the best books I've ever read or listened to. Intelligent, interesting, suprising and I love the style! I also love Paul Auster as a narrator, can't really say why, but it perfectly matches the written style.
