Review of Man Mission
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
Experience the captivating tale of four adventurous men in Man Mission: Four Men, Fifteen Years, One Epic journey by Eytan Uliel. This thrilling book takes you on a journey to some of the most exotic locations around the world, from South Africa to Thailand, South Korea to New Zealand, and beyond. Through kayaking, ice mountain climbing, biking, hiking, and cycling in remote Japan, these friends quench their thirst for adventure year after year.
The narrative of Man Mission beautifully captures the transformation of these young boys into men and delves into the unique challenges they face over the course of fifteen years of exhilarating trips. The narrator shares the origin of the yearly vacations, dating back to his law school days. As the story progresses, the trips become therapeutic.

Through kayaking, ice mountain climbing, biking, hiking, and cycling in remote Japan, these friends quench their thirst for adventure year after year. Escape offers solace and an opportunity to break free from the complexities of their lives, which may seem perfect on the surface but lack a true understanding of the world.
From the very first page, the book immerses you in an exciting and thought-provoking journey. The author's top-notch narration, combined with a non-linear approach, ensures that you can easily follow the thrilling missions and explore the intricacies of the characters' lives. Prepare to laugh out loud at their antics and be moved by the author's funny yet poignant writing style.
I appreciated how the author candidly discusses his insecurities and sheds light on the expectations placed on men in today's society. The book has been aptly described as the male equivalent of Elizabeth Gilbert's “Eat, Pray, Love,” as it explores the highs and lows of life through the lens of these four friends traveling to increasingly exotic locations each year. Additionally, the author's evolving philosophical reflections add depth to the narrative as he ages alongside his adventures.
There is little to dislike about this book. The vivid descriptions of each Man's mission evoke a strong desire to travel and explore. At the end of each chapter, a trip summary lists the country, mode of transport, distance covered, time taken, accommodation, and even injuries sustained—a personal favorite. The ambitious itineraries often result in sunburns, broken bones, torn ligaments, sore muscles, or even just bruised egos, adding a touch of reality to the exhilarating escapades.
Man Mission deserves a 5 out of 5-star rating. The exceptional editing makes it easy to read and navigate, enhancing the overall reading experience. The author's writing seamlessly blends humor and poignancy, keeping readers engaged throughout. The premise of four friends embarking on annual trips together is original and unique, capturing the essence of camaraderie and shared adventures. I highly recommend this book to all men, as it offers valuable insights into the shared experiences of men worldwide, transcending cultural boundaries. Men of all generations will relish reading about Eytan's incredible adventures. Moreover, I encourage women who enjoy humorous books and are intrigued by a firsthand view of the male mind to delve into this captivating narrative. Lastly, anyone with a passion for adventurous travel will find inspiration within the pages of Man Mission.
