This is a beautiful book that I would recommend to any introspective person who loves adventure (reading or doing). It's a quick read and organized thematically more than chronologically. In the chapter "Struggle", I started to worry that the author was getting a little too precious about his own experience...and then the narrative changed in a completely unexpected way that blew my concerns apart. The end is multi-stage and poetic. I just loved it!
Takes some patience to get thru initial sections but the payoff is big, especially if you love Japanese culture as I do. I've listened to the audiobook multiple times and certain parts still make me laugh or tear up (so moving).
One of my favorite books! Adventure, history, politics, project management (or lack thereof), flora, fauna, anthropology, science, love, friendship, team dynamics.
