Review of Man Mission
Four college friends take a break from the realities of their daily lives each year for fifteen years to embark on what they call Man Mission. These tours included hard physical activities; they traveled to New Zealand, Japan, Thailand, Fiji, South Africa, Hawaii, etc. They had their set of rules to guide them on their missions. At first, it was just for the fun of it, but as the realities of life set in, Man Mission becomes more than just an annual getaway. It becomes a ritual that helps them maintain a healthy life balance. Throughout the story, these characters experience various ups and downs as they navigate life's challenges. Each of them must deal with the inevitable obstacles that arise along the way. In this book, find out how Man Mission shaped their lives.
In the story, the protagonist Eytan appears to have everything under control regarding his external appearance, but deep down, he is consumed by constant anxiety. Despite appearing calm and collected to others, Eytan struggles with inner turmoil, causing him to live in a constant state of unease. Daniel is a reserved and meticulous group member, always paying attention to details and analyzing situations carefully before taking action. On the other hand, Sam is known for being sporty and daring, always willing to take risks and try new things. Alec, meanwhile, seems to be struggling to keep his life in order, constantly grappling with personal and professional issues. Despite their differences in personalities and circumstances, they all share a bond of friendship and support one another as they navigate the twists and turns of life.
