Jenna is revealing her December ‘Read With Jenna’ pick: "We Must Not Think of Ourselves" by Lauren Grodstein (@laurengrodstein @algonquinbooks)

"I read this book about a year ago and it took my breath away. It is a little piece of history," @JennaBushHager says.

[Tim Ferriss @tferriss]

Starting in 2004, I traveled the world for roughly 18 months. The lessons learned formed the basis for much of The 4-Hour Workweek.

On my journey—from the back alleys of Berlin to the hidden lakes of Patagonia—I had next to nothing: one suitcase, one backpack, and only two books. One of those books was Walden by Henry David Thoreau (naturally), and the other was Vagabonding: An Uncommon Guide to the Art of Long-Term World Travel, written by Rolf Potts (@rolfpotts).

Vagabonding easily remains in my top-10 list for life-changing books. Why? Because one incredible trip, especially a long-term trip, can change your life forever. And Vagabonding teaches you how to travel (and think), not for one trip, but for the rest of your life.

In my own dog-eared copy of Vagabonding, I have notes, underlines, and highlights on practically every page, ranging from the tactical (how to pack intelligently, what to bring, what not to bring, where to go, etc.) to the philosophical (the Upanishads, how to slow down after a lifetime of rushing and caffeine, etc.). I also have a wish list of dream destinations on the inside cover, including places like Stockholm, Prague, Paris, Munich, Berlin, and Amsterdam. The list goes on and on.

Using the Rolf’s tips, I checked them all off. I was able to explore many of them for 2-3 months at a time at my own pace, unrushed and unworried. It was a dream come true.

Everything in Vagabonding works. This book changed my life completely, and I wish the same for you.

Read the ⭐ STARRED REVIEW ⭐ from @KirkusReviews for @laurengrodstein's WE MUST NOT THINK OF OURSELVES. Grodstein's writing is quintessentially Algonquin—tender, moving, and absolutely beautiful: https://t.co/3bzJ7nZy7m
