It's an axiom of business that great companies grow their revenues and profits year after year. Yet quietly, under the radar, a small number of companies have rejected the pressure of endless growth to focus on more satisfying business goals. Goals like being great at what they do, creating a great place to work, providing great customer service, making great contributions to their communities, and finding great ways to lead their lives. In Small Giants, veteran journalist Bo Burlingham takes us deep inside 14 such remarkable companies.

On the eve of turning 30, terrified of being funneled into a life he didn’t choose, Jedidiah Jenkins quit his dream job and spent 16 months cycling from Oregon to Patagonia.

In this unflinchingly honest memoir, Jed narrates his adventure - the people and places he encountered on his way to the bottom of the world - as well as the internal journey that started it all.

When his mother, Barbara, turns seventy, Jedidiah Jenkins is reminded of a sobering truth: Our parents won’t live forever. For years, he and Barbara have talked about taking a trip together, just the two of them. They disagree about politics, about God, about the project of society—disagreements that hurt. But they love thrift stores, they love eating at diners, they love true crime, and they love each other. Jedidiah wants to step into Barbara’s world and get to know her in a way that occasional visits haven’t allowed.

Travel Bug Infected
This book really reinfected me with the travel bug. It is a good overview of long-term traveling, the how-to's, etc... I recommend this book if you ever fantasize about leaving it all behind to go traveling on a minimal budget while maximizing your enjoyment.

Inspiring but not as detailed
Don't get me wrong, I loved it and am going to show it to my fiancé as we are beginning to plan our travels. I like the use of different people and different perspectives. It really hammered the worldliness of vagabonding.
The problem is the book is very short and does have the kind of concrete info I was hoping for about logistics, time management, money saving tips, etc but he does provide links to resources that are up to date. Then again, that may have been the intention. Too much detail can bog one down with only one way to travel. I guess I just wanted more from the author.
Overall I loved it and am definitely going to listen again!

Great audio book for those with the travel bug.
Motivating, inspiring and comfortable. Comfortable??? With any kind of travelling there is fear of the unknown. This book helped me to feel more comfortable with the unknown and things beyond my control.
