Every year for fifteen years, four men travel for one week. After a spur-of-the-moment call from Sam reminding Eytan of their plans to travel and experience delicious food, these adventures with two friends, Eytan and Sam, get off to an unexpected start. Alec and Daniel eventually joined them. They toured cities including New Zealand, Spain, Japan, South Africa, Brazil, etc. Eytan describes their travels as an exhilarating trip and a getaway from their realities. These dreams were born out of excitement as a way to escape from difficult life difficulties, open up about their struggles, discover a road to healing, and ultimately rediscover themselves.

The narration of Man Mission by Eytan Uliel was done in the first person. Readers can learn a great deal about the cultures of the various places they travel to, all thanks to Eytan Uliel's descriptive skills. He does a terrific job of updating the readers on both the up and down parts of their vacation. Three sections make up the book. They are not merely carried away by the good moments on every trip they take. They gain a fresh viewpoint and a new philosophy of life as a result of their many travels. You can't help but feel empathy for the characters given the way the story is written. The author's account of his experiences is incredibly relatable and real.

A specific stereotype about men has been promoted by society. They are perceived as superhumans free of feelings, frailty, failure, emptiness, and heartache. They are expected to exhibit a kind of "strength" and capacity to face and overcome any challenge on their own. But using the narrator and his friends' character strengths and flaws, Eytan provides a genuine insight into their lives as men. This novel brought to light the numerous internal pressures and conflicts males endure. It exhorts readers to pursue happiness, live each day as it comes, and takes sensible risks. Readers are taken through their exploits, the close bond they forged while serving together, their support of one another, and the tenacity of their friendship.

Despite concentrating on men and their experiences Man Mission is inclusive of all genders. I have to laud the author's skill with flashbacks. Without straying from the main plot of the book, he brilliantly incorporates the current. Every reader should keep an eye out for advice on how to combine love, work, marriage, and happiness. It's vital to mention that this book contains profanities; as a result, younger readers might not enjoy it. The map that comes before each chapter and the statistics at the end are two things that particularly stick out to me. They demonstrate the author's focus on detail. There was nothing in this book that I didn't adore.

This book had excellent editing and was fascinating. That's why I'll give it a perfect rating of four out of four stars. I'd suggest it to those who enjoy travel literature and to anyone looking to reclaim their happiness, find balance in life, and discover who they are.
