5.0 out of 5 stars finally!, April 7, 2000

By	R.P. Goldberg (Chicago) - See all my reviews

This review is from: States of Mind: A Search for Faith, Hope, Inspiration, Harmony, Unity, Friendship, Love, Pride, Wisdom, Honor, Comfort, Joy, Bliss, Freedom, Justice, Glory, Triumph, (Hardcover)

By sheer luck, I grabbed Brad Herzog's "States of Mind" off the shelves after it was released last summer, since it looked like an 'inspirational' sort of read, to tackle during my week-long vacation. WOW! I LOVED THIS BOOK ... And since then, hadn't found anyone else who had read it, although I've recommended it to many. Its great to see that the "Millionaire" show, by coincidence, has brought this free-spirited and smart travel piece to its deserving rank. Highly, highly recommended for anyone in our business-obsessed world who is looking to rediscover inspiration, hope, and the thirst for discovery and adventure.

5.0 out of 5 stars A couple's journey across America, September 26, 1999

By A Customer

The answers to Brad Herzog's cryptic questions asked in this travelogue are all a resounding yes! These ideals exist beyond the commercial hype. Brad and wife Amy felt everyday negativism trickle upon them. As a result they sold everything, bought an enormous vehicle and took to the road. He wrote the words and she snapped those gorgeous photos.

We all have that need to find out what is out there, away from the jaded city environment, and beyond all of the rushed lunches and hate-filled traffic jams.

The Herzogs found it. And once the thing was written, Brad found me, an old buddy from high school, on the beaches of carmel. We set out to find the right publisher, and we did. The rest is his-story.

For me, this book is about remembering to avoid saying no. It should be an inspiration to us all (especially in Inspiration, AZ), and a reminder that America is out there.

Now log off and go drive somewhere!

5.0 out of 5 stars States of Joy, April 10, 2000

By	tveritydmuk@aol.com (US) - See all my reviews

I had a wonderful time reading this book. I love travel writing and it's hard to find anything that matches this quality. The only book I've read recently that came close was `America's Back Porch' by Daniel Jeffreys, who is British. I hope Brad Herzog writes a sequel, there are so many towns in the US with names like `Confusion, North Dakota' that would benefit from his fine eye and splendid prose.
