About the book
Rather than earnest spiritual seeking, this is an account of aimless wandering through exotic locations—from the temples of Thailand to the jazz clubs of New Orleans—where enlightenment takes a back seat to hangovers, missed connections, and the peculiar art of doing absolutely nothing productive. With his trademark blend of self-deprecating wit and sharp cultural observation, Dyer transforms everyday failures and pharmaceutical misadventures into something approaching profundity. It's a book for anyone who's ever felt inadequate about their lack of discipline, their inability to meditate, or their preference for lounging over lotus positions. Brilliantly irreverent and unexpectedly moving, this is travel writing for those who suspect that getting lost might be the whole point.
