The author is American John Strucky. Like "John" in the book, he was once confused. He was originally a master of business administration and worked in the enterprise for many years. At the age of 32, he and his wife suddenly took up their backpacks and embarked on a journey around the world. It took him nine months and walked 70 thousand miles. After returning to the United States, he wrote his own experiences and insights into this book, which was originally published at his own expense. Unexpectedly, it became a best seller within one year and was translated into 39 languages. He hopes that this book will become a companion for more readers in their life journey.

The translation of this book is Wan Jie. This book has only 122 pages. It's light in your hand and shorter in size than the normal version. Although it is not the size of a pocket, the lightness of holding it in my hand will make me like it more and more, and I think it has a decompression effect, so I will finish reading it soon.

Personally, I think this excerpt can best express the core issues in the book, or best reflect the knowledge points that the author wants readers to learn from:

"... no matter what others make us believe, no matter what we hear in advertisements, no matter how we feel about the high pressure of work, each of us can grasp every moment in life. I forgot this truth before, so under the influence of various external forces, I always try to adjust myself and be unconsciously controlled by them. Nobody cares where I hit the ball except myself; Similarly, in life, only you really understand the meaning of your existence. Never lose control of your own destiny because of other people or things. You should take the initiative to choose your own life path, otherwise you can only passively accept the arrangement. Learn to get rid of the golf ball in life. ……"

"'If you have done what you want to do, or do what you want to do every day, then you have no reason to be afraid of losing the opportunity to do those things.' For me, that's why I pushed the door open. Now, this sentence has become my life creed. "

"However, it is precisely because we face seemingly insignificant ourselves that we find the meaning of life. ..... Now, I understand the meaning of my existence, and I will try my best to realize it. On the other side of the door, I will never go back. "

I want to finish reading these, and I have gained a lot of meaning in my life journey.
