I’ve been watching Damon’s YouTube for ages and I was excited for this book because I know for a fact I align with his ideas, and I can listen to him talk for hours. To me personally, knowing the depth of the author’s thoughts and things he can talk about, this book felt rushed and not deep enough. Give me the existential debates, the complex thought-provoking ideas on culture, identity, philosophy. This would be great for someone just intrigued by the global citizen lifestyle though.
Although I’m not a fan of journals in books, the questions there were great – they would make an amazing card game.
After reading this, I’m convinced Damon should write a memoir next.

I bought this book not realising it was a guided journal. That is my fault, I didn’t read the description properly. What I really wanted was Damon to talk in depth about his experiences living in other countries. Particularly France and how that has informed his thinking and wider world view. We do get that in the book but not with the amount of depth I was hoping for. I have spent a lot of time over the past few years unpacking the idea of home and what I think it is and where. I guess I just wanted a book that would reflect those ideas back to me to validate all the musing I have been doing. No fault of Damon’s. I went into this with the wrong expectations. Ultimately I didn’t need a guided journal so I skipped the sections we were asked to fill in.
