Resumen del Editor

After Kim and her husband, Brian, decide to quit their jobs to travel around the world, they're given a yellow envelope containing a check and instructions to give the money away. There are only three rules for the envelope: Don't overthink it, share your experiences, and don't feel pressured to give it all away. Through Ecuador, Peru, Nepal, and beyond, Kim and Brian face obstacles, including major challenges to their relationship. As they distribute the money to people they encounter along the way, they learn that money does not have anything to do with the capacity to give but that it is the giving of ourselves that is transformational.

Inspiring story

This was an inspiring story that made me tear up in many places, however it was thoughtful and real and was a welcome reminder of the good in the world.

Unfortunately I found the narrator rather annoying. Not so much that I stopped listening to the story, but I did find myself cringing often – – especially when she was 'playing the role' of Brian or Michelle.

Inspired and Motivated

I listened to this book while driving from Dallas, TX to Santa Fe, NM on a solo trip with intention of recharging the batteries of my soul and reconnecting to the Mother Earth I love so dearly. I feel like this book came to me magically at the most ideal time. My new fiancé and myself have been diving deep into the depths of our shadow selves over the last 8 months and these self journeys have brought many trials and tribulations to our relationship. I feel more inspired and motivated than I ever have to embark on an adventure similar to this with him. I am so grateful for you sharing this story with the world and am so hopeful that many others will be impacted as strongly as I have been.

With love,

Inspiring

I enjoyed the insight of their travels. it was a bit whiny at first but got better.

Great Journey

I enjoyed all the different countries they explored and made me feel like I was right there with them touring. I couldn’t put the put down half way through it was so exciting. My attention span dwindled when the couples relationship became unbalanced, but got back into it once the envelope money had finally been dispensed to explore their next plan. Overall good read, only a few chapters lingered dragging out the storyline that slowed my interest to take a break reading it.

Send this Envelope away

I was disappointed by this book. Most of the time, I felt the author was whiny, overly self concerned, and needy. Typical “Millenial” entitlement.

I did not enjoy the performance: the way she spoke with any character other than the author , using stereo typical accents, was just awful. Her husband, Indian accents, etc were hack.

A change in attitude can change everything

I love this memoir. It inspires me to trust my heart and follow my dreams

Adventure self discovery perseverance

It had a bit of a flavor of the magnificent obsession, an old book from the 20s. But I loved reading a book that just made you feel good.

Excellent for people that are lost

I am throughly pleased that I purchased this book. She details how difficult long term travel, as well as long term relationships, can be.

Excellent!

it's got off to a slow start, but hang in there because it gets really really good. the narrator had a wonderful ability to do different voices so that you really believed it was different characters. The message of this book is very profound and Powerful. I would read other books by this author for sure.

Beautiful and Inspiring book, but

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would highly suggest buying the book to read for yourself. It was painful to listen to the multitude of mispronounced words and an excruciating attempt at foreign languages by the narrator.Having said that...Don't miss this book if you are an adventuresome Spirit!
