Aprašymas

A young man rides a bicycle from Oregon to Patagonia on a quest to find himself.

By age 27, Jedidiah Jenkins was a successful executive at a thriving international charity that he had helped found. But one day in 2013, in fear of missing out on his own life, he undertook a sixteen-month, ten-thousand-mile bicycle trip from Oregon to Patagonia. To Shake the Sleeping Self is Jenkins's spiritual and geographical report to cubicle denizens and armchair travelers everywhere. What started as a travelogue on his Instagram feed quickly grew into a lively community of thousands of passionate followers gathered around a transformative conversation: What makes a life well lived? In an era of digital connectedness, who is my neighbor? In the everyday, where is the divine? Who am I? And, Where is home?
     Jed's eloquent narrative takes readers on a free-wheeling adventure of people and places, but more than that, on an unforgettable journey into a man's deepest self.
