I have an 'uncorrected proof not for sale' version of this book. I was given this at a holiday gift swap & had no idea what to expect when I opened this book but given the title I thought it would be something a bit to hokey for me. Boy was I wrong. It was about quests & the people who endured them. I have never paid much attention to certain types of achievements that some people attain. This was about people who had really significant things that they decided was worth going after. Some were definitely more ambitious than others. Travelling to every country, wow, I would never bother to do that but others who have, that's amazing. Going to every baseball stadium, I would most definitely want to achieve that, but will I, who knows. There are so many stories that are told about how they came to achieve their quests which isn't just a goal according to the author. It was quite eye opening to learn about the different types of adventures people went on in order to get there. It was just really interesting & it may even motivate you to think about something you may want to accomplish as well.
