Opis

In July of 2011, I found myself heartbroken, jobless, and without a place to live. Desperately wanting to find meaning in life, I casually started asking friends, then acquaintances, then total strangers how they found meaning in their own. Then, a radical idea occurred to me -- one that has changed my life forever. I would ride my bike across the United States and ask everyday citizens about the secrets to life. I then would apply what I learned to my own life. There were only two problems with my plan: first I didn't own a bike and second, I hadn't ridden one in 15 years. This book is about my life changing ride. It is about how everyday occurrences became miracles and how the simplest, most common of activities turned into profoundly deep and enlightening life lessons. And since the point of my quest was to understand just what a meaningful life looks like, this book is also about the six and a half characteristics that all meaningful lives share in common.
