In Around the World in 80 Years, author and international management consultant Peter Felix takes readers on a fascinating journey across cultures and countries, exploring some of the major political, economic, and social upheavals that have shaped the modern world—and him along the way.

From his birth in London in 1944 to an English mother and a father fleeing Nazi persecution, to corporate and charitable work in Pakistan, Hong Kong, the US, Algeria, and beyond, Peter’s story showcases the true value of travel, leadership, and international exchange.

Along the way, Peter describes the highs and lows of a rich and varied international career, from navigating the oil crises of the 1970s, to crossing paths with figures like Princess Margaret and Donald Trump, to his desperate search for his wife June following the attack on the twin towers on 9/11.

Fortunately, June and Peter were reunited, and today they continue to travel the world—she as one of the first women of Chinese heritage to be named CEO of a top British company—he as the Chair of the Scientific Exploration Society, a charity supporting a new generation of explorers, conservationists, and world leaders.

Candid, fascinating, and inspiring, Around the World in 80 Years captures a life lived without borders — an invaluable guide to any aspirational young explorers and entrepreneurs seeking to chart a new path through our rapidly changing world.
