No New Lessons: A Crazy Story about Re-Learning Life Lessons in Alaska's Deadly Wilderness... What Could Go Wrong?

No New Lessons tells the true and crazy story of the author’s trials and tribulations while on an ambitious hiking adventure with two buddies in the Alaskan wilderness. Deployed to Alaska, the three friends decide to spend their weekend making the trek to the “Magic Bus.” They have roughly 40 hours to get there and be back to base in time for mission planning Sunday afternoon.Paul weaves his tale, drawing you in from the very first chapter. His use of back stories truly enhances the reader‘s understanding of WHY ON EARTH! certain decisions and choices were made as they continued on their journey. Whether it be details from his military training or past adventures from his family life with his wife and three boys, I found myself eager for another flashback, finding them equally as entertaining and enlightening as the main story being told.A truly fun story that had me hooked from the beginning. I can’t wait to share it with my friends and family.

Well written, funny, and subtly convicting. You'll laugh, shake your head and think "I'd never," only to realize 5 pages later that you have made similar decisions and likely will again. It's a humorous tale that leads to self reflection, leaving you entertained, convicted, and motivated to live better.

This book is fun, exciting & difficult to put down. Paul grabs your attention through several looks back at life events & military training courses that shaped him & his adventurous spirit, preparing him for one of the most subtly dangerous adventures of his life. Paul's journey through the Alaskan wilderness in search of the "Magic Bus" seemed easy enough on paper, but proved to be something that could have killed him and his buddies, like it's killed others in the past. You feel like you're sitting next to him listening to the stories one after the other and you don't want it to stop. I loved it.

Paul White writes this often amusing, relatable, real-life story of an epic weekend pilgrimage into the Alaskan bush by three military buddies. The book is an easy read while delivering some classic life lessons for those who enjoy outdoor adventures and those who enjoy the follies of others from the comfort of the indoors alike! I highly recommend picking up a copy of this book and you won't be disappointed.
