About this audiobook

Journey deep into the Scottish Highlands in the first memoir by #1 New York Times bestselling author and star of Outlander, Sam Heughan—exploring his life and reflecting on the waypoints that define him

"I had to believe, because frankly, I had come so far there could be no turning back."

In this intimate journey of self-discovery, Sam sets out along Scotland's rugged ninety-six-mile West Highland Way to map out the moments that shaped his views on dreams and ambition, family, friendship, love, and life. The result is a love letter to the wild landscape that means so much to him, full of charming, funny, wise, and searching insights into the world through his eyes. 

Waypoints is a deeply personal journey that reveals as much about Sam to himself as it does to his readers. 
 

Ratings and reviews

This audiobook is like listening to a friend's story full of hardships and triumphs. In many instances I had the desire to laugh with, comfort, and cheer on this acquaintance. I genuinely enjoyed the author's storytelling.

EXCELLENT! As I listened to the reading of 'Waypoint', I felt like I was walking along side Heughan as he described the grandeur and beauty of the Highlands. Well written, descriptive and poignant, this book is one of the best I've come across in a long time... Thank you!

His soothing cool meandering thoughts bring you with as if you are there too enjoying the highlands and waypoints. The shift from trek to past to present was well read. I enjoyed it as I worked my 3rd shift hours.
