Synopsis

At 31, after her boyfriend dumps her and she gets a weird autoimmune disorder, Shawn Phelps decides a new approach to life is in order. She quits her job as a business magazine editor and sets out on a seven-month journey from Thailand to Nepal to learn the secrets of happiness from Asia's sages-not knowing who they are or how to find them.

About this title

From the Publisher

From the Publisher:

Shawn has put together a beautiful, sometimes darkly funny series of short stories about the people she met on her epic seven-month overland journey who transformed her and her life along the way. She also provides insight into what it's like to live and struggle with depression, social anxiety and an autoimmune disorder, all while backpacking alone through foreign countries.
Her message is simple--almost so simple it's easy to miss the profoundness of it--that the more you connect with people in an authentic way (let them see the real you), the more you--and your life--will be transformed by those people. "Each connection you make in life turns you into who you will become."
