"Discovering uncomfortable truths about the narrow focus of your own life is unsettling, but that is what travel is supposed to be."

A great book to read if you are interested in getting more out of travel and life. I find the slow movement so fascinating as it is the opposite of what our culture tells us to "strive for". Instead be in the now to truly experience life. The inclusion of discussions of other books and authors in the 2nd half of the book made it my favorite part and why I'd read this book again. I look forward to reading the books by the mentioned authors. For instance, funny how we focus on Poe's dark stories instead of Domain of Arnheim that literally describes how to be happy - exercise in the open air (travel), love, the contempt of ambition, and an object of unceasing pursuit.

A thoughtful book about the essence of travel and of the virtues of rethinking our views on what travel really is. I agree it's a bit patchy,and too much of the space is taken up with reference to other books, when the interesting parts are the ones where he shares his own Travels with us.
