Thanks for sharing your thoughts on *Escape to Paradise and Beyond: An Englishman’s Global Quest for Truth and Enlightenment*. Your review piqued my interest! I appreciate your honesty about the slow start and the author's writing style. It's great to hear that despite the initial disconnect, the story eventually captivated you and resonated deeply.

I'm particularly intrigued by the book's structure, with its chapters and subheadings dedicated to different countries and experiences. That sounds like a unique way to keep the narrative engaging and organized. Your mention of how the book made you reflect on your own life and chase your dreams is inspiring.

I'm also glad to hear that it's well-suited for almost all ages, with only minor instances of mature content. Your review has definitely convinced me to give this book a try. Thanks again for your insightful review!

I support Maitreya Dasa's decision to seek answers to life's questions that troubled him. I am curious as to the meaning of the title though. Did he discover a "paradise"? Thanks for the review.

While it may not feel like it will in the beginning, the book tends to make you step back and look at your life. After some time, the reviewer found himself utterly entranced by the author’s writings. After reading this book, his advice would be to do the things you want to do and chase the experiences you want to have. He would recommend the book to those hesitating to do just that. What began at birth as a "normal" life turned into feelings of inadequacy, stagnancy, and restlessness. That then turned into traveling the world and searching for profound answers to even more profound questions.

I am curious to hear the advice of a person who traveled the world to ignite the spirit to do the things you want to do and have the experiences you want to have.

The moment a human being learn how to speak , they begin to question every single thing around them. From the most simple to the most complex. I am glad that the author has found answers to his questions with life's most important lessons as bonuses. Thanks for the great review.

By travelling to diverse locations, the author likely encounters different cultures and belief systems. This can broaden the reader's perspective and understanding of the world.

A memoir that recounts the author’s adventures and experiences in life while answering questions about human existence. Sounds like a profound read, although the authors sounds a bit detached in his writing, like you shared in your review.

So many people seek truth in life and often just ignore the fact that they don't know much about the world. I commend the author for having the guts to actually go out there in search of truth. Kudos. Congratulations on making a book of the day

Maitreya Dasa's honest and straightforward narrative style makes the profound experiences he described even more impactful. This book is a testament to the transformative power of travel and introspection, and I highly recommend it to anyone on their own path to enlightenment.
I believe in something greater than myself.
