I was really excited when I won this book, because I enjoy travelling and reading about travel, and I have traveled alone (something possessed me to up and move to Finland for 6 months when I was 21). However, as I read the book, I began to realize the book was more of the self-help genre than adventure/travel. This was a surprise considering the book is published by National Geographic. The first chapter is Baggage; this is not to be confused with Luggage. There were no tips on how to pack; instead, Ms. Booth shares her personal and emotional baggage, and boy does she have a wealth of that. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), I could not relate to her sad life experiences. The next chapter was Courage, and here is what I was looking for...a story of adventure. Ms. Booth's telling of her rappel into the slot canyons of Utah was very compelling, yet still tinged with a bit of negativity (the poor woman is just a magnet for dislikable characters). The remaining chapters Solitude, Introspection and Commitment continued on with the theme of finding yourself and changing your life interspersed with a few travel adventures (dog sledding and trapeze school). There are even exercises at the end of each chapter to help you practice the concepts Ms. Booth has presented. I also learned some interesting facts about John Muir, Mother Teresa, Everett Ruess, and Terry Fox. I thoroughly enjoyed the travel writing, but the rest of the book was too self-centered and preachy for my liking.
