Away by Dhruv Bogra is a must read book. It chronicles his soujorns on a bicycle in Himalayas, and parts of Alaska. Self help books are not the answer to be inspired , but such books that recount strife, guts, and glory should be read for propelling oneself 
Away is full of real life incidents  which the author had encountered hostile weather, refreshing sceneries, superior cyclists than him, grueling experiences, help from rank strangers, vivid details of tiny specks on the map, and the greatness of BRO. It has some scintillating pictures.
I love traveling in the mountains but prefer comfortable travel in a taxi. This book also is a guide on how to manage a career and passion.
