Wander Purposefully

For Eric Travis, hiking the Pacific Crest Trail was not about hiking. It was about mentally developing himself through audiobooks. Over the 156-day and 2,500 plus mile journey, Travis completed 71 audiobooks - including books on religion, history, personal development, and literary classics - all of which expanded his knowledge, cultural awareness, and business acumen.

Originally released exclusively as an audiobook, Wander Purposefully: A Reflection on How to Love Learning introduces the reader to Absorbent Learning a practical lifestyle that encourages and inspires learning for the sake of learning. Travis welcomes you - the learner - to envision and apply his absorbent learning techniques within your existing daily routines. Many of his techniques hide in plain sight and require minimal effort. The three types of absorbent learning - Auditory, Visual, and Experiential - define a new learning lifestyle that benefits not only the learners, but also their surrounding communities and ultimately the world at large.
