I just finished reading this book this week. It was a very 'readable' journey through a self awareness process. I greatly appreciated the authors' candor in regards to her own pitfalls and foibles and her struggle to determine what really makes a person happy. Her own path to enlightenment pulls you toward questioning yourself about what makes you, personally, happy. Descriptors of the locales gives you a great sense of what each country is like. All in all, a great read and I would highly recommend it to anyone.
