A Thought-Provoking Roadmap To Authenticity
“Two Years: Quest for Money, Purpose, and Love” by Max Tower is a profound spiritual journey that captivated me from the first page. Tower’s narrative mirrors a path I’ve embarked upon myself, rendering it impossible to put down. At its core, the book explores a radical shift in perspective—a shedding of societal constructs and a return to our authentic selves buried beneath layers of societal expectation.
Through introspective exploration and sharing his own transformative experiences, Tower offers thought-provoking insights and a roadmap to reclaiming authenticity. Not everyone can emulate Tower’s globe-trotting quest, but the book inspires small, tangible steps toward personal evolution.
For anyone grappling with existential questions and longing for a greater sense of purpose, Two Years is a provocative read. It serves as a guiding light, empowering readers to craft their destinies and embrace a new way of being.

Highly recommended
“Two years: Quest for money, purpose, and love” is a sort of wake-up call book written by Max Tower.
After feeling at a loss and weary with his job, he decided to quit his job and look for a change. He spent two years travelling around the globe, learning about other cultures and listening to himself.
When it comes to rewarding and inspirational stories, I think that this story shows the importance of being brave and taking risks to make a change of heart. Max’s life, in a way, shows the path for people who might feel in a no way-out situation. Along these pages, he shares his whole life which turn out to be a roller coaster of emotions. It’s an engaging book highly recommended.

a powerful book.
“Two Years: Quest for Money, Purpose, and Love” by Max Tower is a powerful book. It talks about something many people these days struggle with; What is the meaning of life? What do I want for my own life? It made me reflect as well. Doing a 9 to 5 job is something that many people aren’t made for and others are. The art about this is finding out what you like. Max takes a radical decision when he quits his job and goes on a journey of self-discovery. It is brave and strong to take a decision like that. Money is not everything. Time is so important and we spent so much time working that we stop enjoying life. And this book has the power to wake people up.

This is the memoir of Max Towers. After a six-month internship in India, the author joined as an investment banker in the same company in Frankfurt, Germany, later moved to London and then New York for the same company. Feeling stuck in life and in a routine of working the whole week and living for the weekend, he was addicted to smoking, stress, seeking outside validation and alcohol while partying every weekend. He decided to quit his job for world travel, in a quest for Money, Purpose of life and Love.
In this memoir, Max shares his two years of world travel, significant personal transformation, and rediscovery of himself. Brutally honest, has penned down all his thoughts from the past and all his daring opinions, that one might hesitate to share. Like prioritising career over relationships, cheating on a romantic partner, owning up to it, revealing his poor financial actions and losses, and still it isn't any sob-story. The very authentic and crisp writing, that's to the point with no nonsense or filler, has this conversational style so we don't get bored of it either. Part-travelogue, part-memoir, the book seems promising, it's the authenticity of the writing that wins the hearts of its readers.
I learnt about several things from the book, like Ego identity. The identity that helps us think and evaluate rationally what we should or should not do in order to be loved, to be accepted. Like having a secure job, a relationship and a routine life, we all aspire for that. That's ego identity. But when we find ourselves stuck in this loop, we get to wonder about our true purpose.
The author traveled various places and mentioned so many anecdotes from his adventures, and where he partook in adrenaline-inducing activities and then soothing activities like connecting with nature or spirituality. He met so many people and shares the important incidents from his life.
With Max finding his true purpose of life, he learns that everything that's destined to happen, will happen, so we have to accept the past, own it, and that retrospection is also necessary to understand situations. However, one must keep moving forward, trust in oneself. Trust that everything will be all right. Trust in the higher power in and around each one of us. Practising gratitude, meditation, connecting with nature and a little philanthropy wherever possible will definitely help.

What is super cool is the author’s pledge to donate proceeds so readers can jointly support people in need around the world. The author provided a link to the voting site and a QR Code.
Max wanted something different other than his workaholic lifestyle. He knows life has more to offer than working for the weekend. Max wants freedom. He embarks on an adventure travelling and meeting new people.
Max left his job to create a new life. Although he is traveling and is meeting new people, he explains with his newfound freedom also came the same feelings of life is on repeat. Max is on a journey of enlightenment. He explored brain waves, meditation, and quantum physics. This book is a roadmap to finding enlightenment and in that yourself. Max not only shared his story he is also willing to share the proceeds which makes it a must-read memoir.
Max was right when he wrote about how we all crave the next big thing.

Two Years is the story of a man who changed his life in that significantly small amount of time. I think the general idea of the book is to tell a story, an autobiography filled with ups and downs, questions, and answers.
What I like about this read is the process Max Tower went through to transform his life. The "Leave everything behind" is a common thing in our days, traveling to forget or to rediscover, but there's a certain originality in his thoughts, I can tell the author actually grew over those years.
Overall, a great book for the reader who wants a change in life but doesn´t know where to start!

The first thing I would like to say is that this is a book that may touch more than one reader closely because many of us have felt stuck at some point in our lives.
Max, a former investment banker, yearned for something more meaningful after years of working in the finance industry, made the decision to quit his job and embark on a journey of self-discovery and personal transformation.
I totally enjoyed reading and learning about the new cultures he explored, the new perspectives he gained and how he could rediscover his true essence.
It’s a book that teaches me invaluable lessons so I took it as my favorite ally.

Many times, we believe that we are destined to do only one thing in life and that the destiny that awaits us is an office and a tie.

This book is not only reflective but also full of wisdom. If you are going through a difficult time where you want to know yourself to transform your life and start doing what you love, read this book and let yourself be advised by the author.

Break addictive patterns and embrace uncertainty.
The book is a memoir of the author's journey of self-discovery from his life in the corporate world to becoming the person he is right now. His writing style is very conversational. The author writes away that he is directly speaking to you over a cup of coffee or brunch. You will learn about facing your fears, embracing the uncertainty in your life, and prospering afterward. It teaches you to move away from external validation, where you can redefine your success and enjoy the view, whether on top of the hill or in a beautifully well-constructed villa below. As the book's author has mentioned, letting go of your ego-driven perspective will bring you much positivity. This is a great and inspirational book to read.

I always find it fascinating reading about people’s journey to their own sense of fulfilment so Max’s story certainly caught my eye. In this travel memoir, Max candidly shares his quest for meaning, just like many others, which got me thinking deeply about myself and self-discovery.
It is so difficult to let of control for me, so learning about the profound impact of relinquishing control for him, embracing trust, and opening oneself to the abundance of life gave me a new perspective on things.
Sometimes it’s hard for me to find true honesty and vulnerability in some memories but that wasn’t the case in this one. At the end of the day, I think we all deal with the same issues, we just handle them differently so sharing everyone’s story feels like sharing the heaviness of what it means to discover who you are.
Overall, this memoir felt like an invitation to embrace a new era of self governance and purpose.

Great self help book
I loved this book! As a person who doesn’t read much non fiction I think this book lived up to the promise of its title! I enjoyed the fact that the narrators voice felt so real as if you knew the person in person! The connection of self development tips blended with the real life experiences of the narrator was great!

In my journey in life, I have always been interested in books about self growth and self realization, and in Two years I found a great memoir with a depth that I was not ready for. I found it really empowering and intense, feeling so relate with the story and Max’s journey, where you will find not only an exterior journey, where he visit several countries looking for answers but also a interior one, where he made de questions and found the answers that made him decide to leave a corporate world to have a fulfilling life. This book made me realize that I have the power to change everything that I believe is not fine in my life and made me feel so empowered to start this journey now.

Two Years: Quest for Money, Purpose, and Love is a well written, well constructed and fascinating memoir. The author has a captivating voice and is refreshingly open and on the face of it perceptive about his flaws.
Under his pen name Max Tower, the author describes the start of his quest as ‘A clean cut from the seven years of “living for work” life model. In particular, living through lockdown alone in a small apartment subject to massive work screentime, with no non-work personal contacts, and the pain of a stock market gambling loss, led to his dramatic decision to quit his job with no Plan B. Or, put another way, Plan B was essentially not to have any plans.
We follow Max as he travels across and around most of the world over the next two years, gathering information and inspiration, shedding old patterns of thought while meeting and both learning from and helping numerous interesting people on his way. The writing is thoughtful, insightful and intelligent and the author is so engaging that he effortlessly carried this reader through a narrative densely packed with details of his journey (spiritual and literal), place descriptions, self analysis and musings on life, death and all that’s in between.
The book is a slow read, but for good reason — there’s a lot packed in here. And the quality of the writing makes it a pleasure to take it at a gentle pace. However, I felt that the text could have been broken into more and shorter sections while respecting the overarching structure.
I also found that the narrative became a little repetitive, especially the third part, and perhaps a little too esoteric, though of course that is all part of the author’s spiritual journey so I understand why he wrote it.
None the less, there is much accessible wisdom distilled in the final pages, without straying into trite cliché or homily: ‘In the end, life is a series of choices resulting in a series of events that will lead us to the same result, one way or the other: Death. The question is how we want to live it until then.’ Who can argue with that? Self-evident on examination but also provocative.
Finally, I would mention the author’s commendable, innovative and very interesting approach to giving some of profits from book to charities selected by author and chosen by readers’ votes.

Drop everything in your life if you love freedom.
A very interesting world of an author who originally had a good job and a good life in the city.
Experiences as they travelled the world looking for enlightenment.
"I had read so many different books during my travels; some were personal stories, and some were factual. But none of them really combined the two. That is where I saw my niche."
I enjoyed a lot of the concepts in this book, being a spiritualist myself, enjoying a life of peace.
Well worth a read.
