Finding Myself Along the Way

One Man's Journey on the Camino de Santiago

De: Michael Burnett

Narrado por: Samuel Robinson

As the author, Michael Burnett approached middle age, he wondered if the life he had was what he truly wanted.

Finding Myself Along the Way chronicles the steps he took next to gain perspective; rediscover who he was and whom he wanted to be.

Over the course of a few years, he sheds the trappings of his middle-class life. At age 50, he’d reduced his belongings to the bare essentials and veered onto a path less traveled. No longer striving for success as measured by society, he seeks to live a simpler existence and embarks on a journey into the unknown.

His story, told with unflinching honesty, is shared as he walks along the Camino de Santiago, a 500-mile pilgrimage in Northern Spain.

He shares his struggles, fears, and mistakes he’s made and delves into how a loss at an early age can impact one's life. He also shares the lessons he’s learned, his hopes and dreams, and moments that will make your heart sing in this moving memoir.

The Camino comes to life in vivid detail…the natural beauty, the historic monuments…but most of all, as you meet the fellow pilgrims he encounters along the Way. You’ll discover why so many people return to the Camino time and time again.

This book will inspire you to begin your own journey, rediscover what ignites your passion, push you to move outside of your comfort zone, and provides plenty of opportunities for you to see what’s possible.

Epic

Loved the book. A good adventure story. Coming of age. Hoping he writes more soon

A little to personal

I loved the details of the hike just not the intimate details between two people, it is not why I purchased this book.

Not bad for an Uber driver

It was not a bad story until he starts shagging a young woman that is the same age as his daughter. Too bad his ego needed this journey more than his soul.

A Magical Journey

This is a good book and provides a good overview of the Camino - a bit of history - descriptions of the towns and landscapes and the authors interactions with other pilgrims along the way. Now get off your couch and hike.

Take a walk on a beautiful, well written journey!

I’ve never been on a Camino before. It’s been something I’ve always dreamed of doing. This book takes you on the journey, introduces you to the sights along the path along with brief history, flavors of food, and people you will meet along the way. In the end you too will experience a Buen Camino.
