The Happiness of Pursuit: Finding the Quest That Will Bring Purpose to Your Life by Chris Guillebeau

3.0

---

In this book you can find stories about people who did something they dreamed about, mostly just for themselves. This is the book about normal people doing remarkable things. Writer of the book, Chris, visited every country in the world. We can read about his quest. We also can read about the woman who traveled in every state in America, or about the man who walk whole Turkey by foot or the woman who spent more than a year on the tree to stop illegal logging in Tasmania. We can also find a story about a woman who had 50 dates in 50 states, or about a guy who 17 years abstained from motorized transport. He also didn’t speak for years, and that started from his wish to express protest against oil companies.

You can read many stories about the people who found their quests. They had enough courage for that. Many of us are dreaming of something and do nothing because we think that we couldn’t do it.

Stories from this book are truly inspiring and motivating. People who are finding their quests were successful not because of innate talent, but because of their choices and dedication.
