Wander Purposefully: A Reflection on How To Love Learning

For Eric Travis, hiking the Pacific Crest Trail was not about hiking. It was about expanding his mental development by listening to audiobooks. Over the 156-day and 2,500 plus mile journey, Travis completed 71 audiobooks on a wide range of genres such as religion, history, personal development, and literary classics-all of which served to expand 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 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 and their surrounding communities, but ultimately the world at large.

ABSORBENT LEARNING coaches anyone, especially those with the busiest of schedules, how to maximize new learning potential and bring more focused purpose into their daily lives. This book is highly recommended to anyone seeking to live with a greater sense of intention and connection to the world around them.

Wander Purposefully: A Reflection on How to Love Learning is Eric Travis' first book. He attended Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington where he earned a Bachelor's in Engineering, and a Master's in Business Administration. In 2018, Travis completed the Pacific Crest Trail. He currently resides in Seattle, Washington.
