Discovering Beautiful is the tale of a lost and lonely young Yorkshireman who takes himself off to America for a month-long vacation and ends up embarking on a four year odyssey of travel and adventure in the search for happiness, and for something real. Along the way he lives semi-homeless in New York, crashes numerous cars, visits several American jails, hitch-hikes over fifteen thousand miles, rides freight trains, works as a stunt cowboy, and even has thanksgiving with some Mexicans (the last one's a joke). Ultimately, he is led on a voyage of salvation by fate/destiny/synchronicity/call-it-what-you-will to a life-changing meeting with an odd and intriguing shaman and tai chi master in the deserts of Mexico, the culmination of his search. And that's when things really get interesting...
