The Happiness of Pursuit helps you find real life fulfilment by undertaking a quest that is big and ambitious, surpassing the limits of routine-filled lives. Chris has undertaken a successful quest of his own, having visited nearly every country in the world by age 35, but your own quest needn't involve travel at all.

Chris has surveyed thousands who've undertaken such quests and identified: � How they went about it � The common mistakes � What happened when they hit the wall � How their lives changed when the quest was over The Happiness of Pursuit offers inspirational and practical advice to help you bridge the gap between 'impossible dream' and 'everyday reality'. Discover how your own quest can give you the self knowledge to find and live a more fulfilling life.

This is the second book I’ve read from Chris Guillebeau, the first being the $100 Start-Up. This is a good book to pick up if your looking to live a more meaningful life. Chris shares stories from his own quest as well as others in this book, what inspired them to pursue their quest and how they did it. Good read and insightful.

Fantastic book. I loved reading about the many different quests people have been on and are on. This book definitely had a more thoughtful quality to it, compared to Chris' other books, and I definitely appreciated it, especially because it felt just right for the nature of the book itself. This book feels grand without being grandiose. And perhaps presents a better approach to life than presented by others. Love it.
