Opis

What is the "good life"? Is it given or must we earn it? Must we give something up to get it? On her trip to Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, Pohnpei, Kosrae, Chuuk, Guam, Tinian, Rota, Palau, and Yap, traveler pondered the meaning of "the good life." What better place on earth to consider this question than on these islands so bountifully blessed by nature and inhabited by some of the last sustainable cultures on the earth. After traveling throughout these idyllic islands, one question remained deep in the heart of the traveler. By whose standards do we judge the good life, and must we give up our identity, our cultural center, and our essence to have it, even if the definition is not our own? The Spiritual Traveler Series: Instead of simply looking at the sights, sounds, and tastes of a locale, the reader is allowed to experience the consciousness of a nation.
