Wander Purposefully

A Reflection on How to Love Learning

De: Eric Travis

Narrado por: Eric Travis

For Eric Travis, hiking the Pacific Crest Trail was not about hiking. It was about expanding his mental development by listening to audiobooks. Over the 156-day and 2,500-plus-mile journey, Travis completed 71 audiobooks on a wide range of genres such as religion, history, personal development, and literary classics - all of which served to expand his knowledge, cultural awareness, and business acumen.

Originally released exclusively as an audiobook, Wander Purposefully: A Reflection on How to Love Learning introduces the listener to absorbent learning, a practical lifestyle that encourages and inspires learning for the sake of learning. Travis welcomes you - the learner - to envision and apply his techniques within your existing daily routines. Many of his techniques hide in plain sight and require minimal effort. The three types of absorbent learning - auditory, visual, and experiential - define a new learning lifestyle that benefits not only the learners and their surrounding communities, but ultimately the world at large.

Absorbent learning coaches anyone, especially those with the busiest of schedules, how to maximize new learning potential and bring more focused purpose into their daily lives. This book is highly recommended to anyone seeking to live with a greater sense of intention and connection to the world around them.

Loved it! Wander aimlessly no more

Really interesting subject thoughtfully presented. I’m definitely recommended this to my family when they want a new audiobook.

Exceptional read!

As someone who typically finds self betterment books far too fluffy, Wander Purposefully was a refreshing reset. The author gives a candid look into the hard work, time, and effort required to accomplish great feats while outlining actionable tasks to lead listeners to their goals. Far too often we are told tales of great success without properly examining the journey required to get there. Mr. Travis walks the listener through an insightful and exciting tale of his journey on the Pacific Crest Trail and brings the listener a well rounded perspective on continuous learning. This book can truly benefit readers of any age, absolutely recommend!

A Self-Help and Philosophical Tour de Force

Eric's message is practical, effective, and remarkably profound. Using his hike of the Pacific Crest Trail as the backbone for both his learning and the structure of the book, he takes readers through the three kinds of absorbent learning: auditory, visual, and experiential. In a well measured and encouraging tone, he describes his intellectual journey and lays out a blueprint for any reader hoping to: -Speak knowledgeably on any number of topics -Develop relationships quickly with strangers -Grow acquaintanceships into strong friendships -Have an appreciation for cultures and perspectives outside of their own -Grow in empathy and gratitude ...among a multitude of other gems of wisdom. Eric weaves in childhood anecdotes, excellently selected quotes from the 70+ books he read on his journey from Mexico to Canada, and has a knack for identifying the turning points in the development of his learning theories. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and it has lead me to reevaluate a number of things about how I use my time, and the things that I wish to accomplish. I am grateful for having read it, and highly recommend it to anyone seeking to live with a greater sense of intention, and connection to the world around them. GU Rugby for life!

Good listen, GREAT message

You'll want to turn the reading speed up. Very slow narration. Other than that, good listen, GREAT message.

Go zags!
