De: Richard Antony

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Jim is experiencing a mid-life crisis. Divorced for five years, he recently lost his job. He understands he needs to reboot his life but is not sure how to go about doing that until he comes up with an interesting possibility.
At 49, he decides that thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail might help him find a new direction for his life. After months of physical training and logistical preparation, Jim and his younger brother begin the hike from Springer Mountain, Georgia.
Over the next 5 months, Jim experiences periods of doubt, fear, exhilaration, loneliness, compassion, and joy. He meets individuals from every walk of life, all of whom, he discovers, has something of value to teach him. Despite the many challenges of trail life, Jim ultimately reaches the terminus of the AT atop Mount Katahdin, a far wiser, and more purpose-driven individual. The story is both uplifting and memorable.
