The Vagabond's Way by Rolf Potts Pdf

“Thought-provoking, encouraging, and inspiring” (Gretchen Rubin) reflections on the power of travel to transform our daily lives—from the iconoclastic travel writer, scholar, and author of Vagabonding For readers who dream of travel, yearn to get back out on the road, or want to enrich a journey they’re currently on, The Vagabond’s Way explores and celebrates the life-altering essence of travel all year long. Each day of the year features a meditation on an aspect of the journey, anchored by words of wisdom from a variety of thinkers—from Stoic philosopher Seneca and poet Maya Angelou to Trappist monk Thomas Merton and Grover from Sesame Street. Iconoclastic travel writer and scholar Rolf Potts embraces the ragged-edged, harder-to-quantify aspects of travel that inevitably change travelers’ lives for the better in unexpected ways. The book’s various sections mirror the phases of a trip, including • dreaming and planning the journey: “All life-affecting journeys—and the unexpected wonders they promise—become real the moment you decide they will happen.” • embracing the rhythms of the journey: “The most poignant experiences on the road occur in those quiet moments when we recognize beauty in the ordinary.” • finding richer travel experiences: “Developing an instinct to venture beyond the obvious on the road allows you to see places as mysteries to be investigated.” • expanding your comfort zone: “No moment of instant gratification can compare to savoring an experience that has been earned by enduring the adversity that comes with it.” The Vagabond’s Way encourages you to sustain the mindset of a journey, even when you aren’t able to travel, and affirms that travel is as much a way of being as it is an act of movement.

Summary of Rolf Potts's Vagabonding by Everest Media, Pdf

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Vagabonding is about gaining the courage to loosen your grip on the so-called certainties of this world. It is about refusing to exile travel to some other, seemingly more appropriate, time of your life. It is about taking control of your circumstances instead of passively waiting for them to decide your fate. #2 Earning your freedom to travel is a personal investment that demands the realignment of self. Work is not just an activity that generates funds and creates desire; it’s the vagabonding gestation period, during which you earn your integrity and start making plans. #3 There are countless ways to earn your travels. On the road, I have met vagabonders of all ages, from all backgrounds and walks of life. Some don’t even maintain a steady job description, taking short-term work only as it serves to fund their travels and their passions. #4 The first step of vagabonding is to make work serve your interests, instead of the other way around. To do this, you must quit your job to go vagabonding. This should never be seen as the end of something unpleasant. It’s a vital step in beginning something new and wonderful.

SUMMARY - Vagabonding: An Uncommon Guide To The Art Of Long-Term World Travel By Rolf Potts by Shortcut Edition Pdf

* Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes. By reading this summary, you will learn how to become a true adventurer by making your travels an art of living. You will also learn how to : travel more often and longer; make travel your priority; simplify your life; travel better; get to know yourself better. Wander around. This term derived from Latin is rather connoted; in the collective unconscious, it evokes the homeless, poverty and the absence of rules. Yet it has a positive meaning that has been alienated from it. It suggests the fact of travelling in the absence of a precise destination, according to one's inspirations, with calm, freedom and strength. For travel does not only shape youth: it is one of the factors of self-discovery at any age. "Vagabonder" is thus also a vector of knowledge. It is a way of looking at travel in a more authentic way, far from the marked paths of mass tourism. *Buy now the summary of this book for the modest price of a cup of coffee!

Souvenir by Rolf Potts Pdf

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. For as long as people have traveled to distant lands, they have brought home objects to certify the journey. More than mere merchandise, these travel souvenirs take on a personal and cultural meaning that goes beyond the object itself. Drawing on several millennia of examples-from the relic-driven quests of early Christians, to the mass-produced tchotchkes that line the shelves of a Disney gift shop-travel writer Rolf Potts delves into a complicated history that explores issues of authenticity, cultural obligation, market forces, human suffering, and self-presentation. Souvenirs are shown for what they really are: not just objects, but personalized forms of folk storytelling that enable people to make sense of the world and their place in it.' Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic. Souvenir features illustrations by Cedar Van Tassel

The Art of Travel by Alain de Botton Pdf

THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER 'Honest, funny and dripping with witty aphorisms. Extremely entertaining and enlightening [...] all the way to journey's end' Herald One of our greatest voices in modern philosophy, author of The Course of Love, The Consolations of Philosophy, Religion for Atheists and The School of Life, presents a travel guide with a difference - an exploration of why we travel, and what we learn along the way... Few activities seem to promise as much happiness as going travelling: taking off for somewhere else, somewhere far from home, a place with more interesting weather, customs and landscapes. But although we are inundated with advice on where to travel to, we seldom ask why we go and how we might become more fulfilled by doing so. With the help of a selection of writers, artists and thinkers - including Flaubert, Edward Hopper, Wordsworth and Van Gogh - Alain de Botton provides invaluable insights into everything from holiday romance to hotel minibars, airports to sightseeing. The perfect antidote to those guides that tell us what to do when we get there, The Art of Travel tries to explain why we really went in the first place - and helpfully suggest how we might be happier on our journeys. 'Delightful, profound, entertaining. I doubt if de Botton has written a dull sentence in his life' Jan Morris 'An elegant and subtle work, unlike any other. Beguiling' Colin Thubron, The Times

Another Vagabond Lost to Love by Charlotte Eriksson,The Glass The Glass Child Pdf

A young writer's search for a place called home, what it means to be an artist, and finding peace with a restless heart. The follow up to Charlotte Eriksson's first book "Empty Roads & Broken Bottles; in search for The Great Perhaps", is the continued self-exploring quest of a young artist. Poetry, travel stories and journals that brings you in to this young girl's journey. ---------------- The journals and poetry explore the dreamer's fate of leaving and arriving, love and loss, and learning to go on on your own. It captures the city of Berlin, where I somehow ended up. The broken concrete, conversations with strangers, small moments of ache or clarity. The stories leads to the chapter of my Album Journals "Learning What It Means To Be An Artist," which is a series of journals and letters behind what came to be my second album "I Must Be Gone and Live, or Stay and Die". The album and this book go hand in hand and the lyrics and quotes blend into one another. The reader will find the book as a world of its own, and the listener of the album will find the musical world expanded into reality.
