This book speaks to me on such a personal level, it's difficult to figure out where to start. For years I've been seemingly alone in my own belief that there has to be much more to life than punching a clock and paying rent, and this book has opened my eyes to the reality that there are other like-minded individuals in the world.By leaving our own personal comfort zone, we can begin to live a life worthy of mention, rather than simply being the robots that society has routinely prescribed for the common folk. By tackling our fears and facing uncertainty, we can embark on adventures that will help us feel alive, as opposed to just kinda of 'being here.'For years I've dreamed of spending the summer hiking the entire length of the Appalachian Trail (from Georgia to Maine); of living life on the road, just me and my Honda Element and the open air; of pitching a canvas tent deep in the solitude of the nearest state park like a modern-day Henry David Thoreau... The list goes on and on.This book has motivated me to stoke the embers of my dreams and pursue them with conviction and vigor...What are your dreams? What excites you and motivates you to greet another day? What are you doing right now to meet the expectations that you are setting for yourself, so that you too may live life to the fullest? Deep stuff, huh?
