Chris Walker flies back and forth in this book, explaining the difficulty of his beginning and how it affected his adulthood and then how he learned to heal himself with climbing the himalayas and spiritually (or as he suggests both at the same time). Sometimes the timeline of his relationships was not well explained and therefore confusing but overall I'd say this book is a good short read. Some parts you will read over and over again because they seem really relevant and some you might skim.
