In one week, Scott Stoll lost his job, his best friend, his girlfriend, and his confidence. Disillusioned with society, full of angst, suffering from depression and with nothing left to lose Stoll asked himself a question: "If I only have one life, one chance, if I could do anything, what would I do?"

His answer resulted in a 4-year and 25,752-mile odyssey around the world by bicycle using nothing more than a paper map as a guide. Stoll searched for answers to the great mysteries of life, vowing to find happiness or die trying. The quest wasn't easy. He was imprisoned, held hostage, mugged, run over, suspected of terrorism, accused of espionage, nearly trampled by elephants, wounded, diseased, heartbroken -- he nearly died a dozen times. But more importantly, Stoll discovered the wonders of the world, kindness among strangers, the meaning of life, peace, love, faith and -- Yes! -- in the last place left to look, he found happiness.

Re-live and re-imagine an archetypal adventure as a man stumbles through moments of pure survival and moments of pure enlightenment.

Great true story of courage

Scott Stoll bridges the subject object split by venturing around the world on a bicycle and reflecting upon his experiences and thoughts vis-a-vis the people and ideas that informed his outer and inner journey and his writing. Great story, read by the author, and true in more ways than one.

shear amazing scope and volume of Scott's adventures and the authenticity and skill with which he conveys his story.

I loved all the local color, the emotional honesty and the cliffhanger vibe of much of the book
