I loved the intimate, chatty tone of this book about the author's travels and search for peace and meaning in her life. I found myself copying passages down in a notebook, something I haven't done since college. Her honesty was remarkably brave, and I love her explanation of the importance of contentment. It can be "a generous gift to the world" because when you are content, "you are free to serve and enjoy other people."
