FIELDS OF DREAMS
In order to move forward, we have to develop new perspectives on the past, writes Scott Looney, author of Finding The Elixir: How Spontaneous Travel and Unexpected Friendships Helped Reset My Life. His book is a tour de force that will leave your head spinning with all of the people, places and things he's experienced after his divorce. Most notably, his love of baseball games and stadiums is contagious. If one day you find yourself in a nearly deserted ballpark and notice a man wandering around here, there and everywhere and wonder who it could be, it's probably Looney.
Alana Stewart once said, "I used to think that divorce meant failure, but now I see it more as a step along the path of self-realization and growth." This book epitomizes that.

Well written book with a unique title
I enjoyed reading Scott’s book about navigating life after a divorce. In reading this book, I felt like I learned something new, which I liked as well. I liked how he tied traveling and baseball together, and even though I don’t know much about the sport, it was fun to read about the games he went to in different parts of the US. Whether you’re a fan of baseball books or traveling books, I can definitely recommend this one.

This is a book about rediscovering yourself and about not missing opportunities when they pop up in front of you. Scott says he has never regretted using his credit card for travel opportunities.
"Going into debt to travel is worth it - as long as you don't go overboard."
This is advice I am going to contemplate going forward!
Also I am embarrassed to say I learned about the red seat at Fenway by reading this book!
