About this listen

Acclaimed actor Jeremy Renner narrates his gripping and inspiring story of a near-fatal accident and what he learned about inner strength, endurance and hope as he overcame insurmountable odds to recover, one breath at a time. This program includes a note written and read by his daughter, Ava.

“Renner’s description of his recovery is life affirming and just pretty incredible. His narration is particularly harrowing. There are occasional cuts to 911 calls on the day of the incident, and you can even hear Renner fighting to stay alive in the background. I’m of the mind that not every celebrity needs a memoir, but this one’s worth it.”—Vulture

"With audible emotion Renner navigates his reflections on life and death…Enhancing the audio are the original 911 interactions as the accident unfolded.”—AudioFile

Two-time Oscar nominee Jeremy Renner was the second-most-googled person in 2023—and not for his impressive filmography. His searing portrayals on film ranged from an Iraq-based army bomb technician in The Hurt Locker and a Boston bank robber in The Town to a crooked Camden mayor in American Hustle before he became heir to the Jason Bourne franchise (The Bourne Legacy). Amongst other iconic roles, he also captured hearts as fan-favorite comic book marksman Hawkeye in seven Marvel films.

Yet, his otherworldly success on-screen faded to the periphery when a fourteen-thousand-pound snowplow crushed him on New Year’s Day 2023. Somehow able to keep breathing for more than half an hour, he was subsequently rushed to the ICU, after which he would face multiple surgeries and months of painful rehabilitation.

In this debut memoir, Jeremy describes in blistering detail his accident and the aftermath. This retelling is not merely a gruesome account of what happened to him; it’s a call to action and a forged companionship between listener and author as Jeremy recounts his recovery journey and reflects on the impact of his suffering. Ultimately, Jeremy’s memoir is a testament to the human spirit and its capacity to endure, evolve, and find purpose in the face of unimaginable adversity. His writing captures the essence of profound transformation, exploring the delicate interplay between vulnerability and strength, despair and hope, redemption and renewal.

Very inspiring

I must read or listen to book about life’s struggles, triumphs, and renewals. If this book does not give you a sense of how fragile life can be and how we should all look to be the best person we can be every day.

Personal victory of life he found

Hits you like an avalanche in a good way. The warning signs were all there from missing the plane by seconds to the highway being shut down to prevent Jeremy to not go any further.

I enjoyed his story and point of view. Especially the lessons he learned and decided to share with his readers.

Jeremy has a strong life story. I’m so glad he survived.

I like that this actor that would probably have prefeed to keep his private life.private has opened it up to help others and connect with his own pain. I hope writing this was therapeutic for Jeremy, but I also got the feeling that he really didn’t want to write this book. Jeremy comes off as a tough guy. It sounds like before his accident, he had a lot of testosterone. Macho man.

He had a belief systems that was shaken from his accident and it’s interesting to see how he is changed. But it’s also deeply disturbing to hear how much work he has done to improve his body and mind. Wow. He gives his recovery his all. I wonder if others would survive and heal from a similar situation, without Jeremy’s support system. Many people stepped up, due to his actor status, like the mayor in Lake Tahoe, firefighters, doctors, friends. Most people don’t get the VIP service.

It is nice to hear he gives back, community service and helping foster kids. He is a good guy.

Honest and genuine

Having Jeremy read this is more of a 1st account story telling then a read.

Not just a book
