A Time to Walk : Life Lessons Learned on the Appalachian Trail

Rating:
Summary: This is the only self help book you will ever need.
Review: This seemed to be more of a self help book about how to succeed in life and less about hiking the AT. Although, Jay gives some great anecdotes. It's solid, no nonsense advise on how to live a happy productive life. And without any fluff. Thank you Jay.

Summary: Life Lessons Learned
Review: What a wonderful book! I was inspired by this book which is about a young man with multiple medical problems (one eye, kidney cancer, brain tumors) who hiked the Appalachian Trail. He decided to hike the trail to see if "everything still worked". He used his daily journal on this hike to take his experiences and turn them into something positive. What he feared, he learned to face and overcome. With the sprinkling of quotes and phrases through this book, he writes it in a down to earth, straight forward fashion. He writes this book with a goal towards helping others. I can tell you, he definetly did that for me, and made me want to do that for others. I think this a book that those down on life, or going through tough times would benefit from. It would inspire those going through medical problems or those not knowing if their life is "worth it". He lets you know that each and every one of us are important in life and that we can help make others know that they are important also. Anyone from 8 to 80 would enjoy this book!
