I liked the book and found the take of his adventures interesting. I also admire the courage it must have taken to actually take a time out at the point he was in his career. My only critique is that I wish he would have directed his insights to a wider audience. I kind of felt it was directed specifically to attorneys and ERISA attorneys at that when,in fact, most anyone in the business world trying to pound out a successful career might be interested in his story.

What a joyful and beautiful travelogue- and mental and emotional exploration- from an adventurous soul in a corporate stiff’s clothing. I especially loved the quotes and the encouraging “just go do it, already” sentiment throughout. There’s never an easy time to take the leap- but Mark proves that no matter the time, it’s worth it. Such an enjoyable and life affirming read. Thanks Mark.
