[Charles · Rating 2 out of 5]

Abandoned, because tape 2 was bad, but also because I just couldn't stick with it. I almost quit after an entire side 1 which sounded like a justification for a life of wandering, but there was one cogent thought in there (which escapes me at present) that kept me going. In all, it sounds like a well-meaning but impractical guide to finding the work which makes us happy and useful, but ignores the need to put food on the table. I'm glad he's found his work, but not sure this book can anyone who's not already on the edge & able to make that jump to something beyond mediocre. Best of luck to those who are.
