5.0 out of 5 stars Into the Future, June 5, 2009

By	R. hickman (Lasd cruces, New Mexico USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you need a book to inspire anyone, this is it! Alastair Humphreys has taken his journeys on the road and drawn from past writings to create a book which will inspire, particularly anyone graduating from high school, university, or going into the future a bit shy. We all need a bit of gumption to take on our dreams - if anyone can tell you how, Humphreys can do it - he's been there and done that. He could not always have been the bravest of adventurers - big surprise, given the challenges he took on.But he did accomplish his dream one step at a time. Included photos are outstanding; writing draws you in; treat yourself to a wonderful bit of encouragement from the best of our young people.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quick, easy, and enjoyable!, June 3, 2009

By	J. Jensen - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found Alastair Humphreys' "Ten Lessons from the Road," to be a very quick, easy, and enjoyable read! This is the first book that I've read of his, and I found it very entertaining. I'm not a cyclist, but this book really isn't about cycling. Rather, it's about life and whether or not you're really "living" it. Throughout "Ten Lessons from the Road," Humphreys provides 10 lessons that led him to his greatest accomplishment and venture, yet. He provides examples and pictures from his journey, but moreover, life's lessons that he learned along the way. Through feelings of self-doubt, fear, etc., Humphreys persevered and achieved his goal. He reminds us that life goes by all too quickly, and encourages us to live our lives and pursue our dreams while we have the chance. I'd highly recommend this book, especially to anyone who needs or requires a bit of motivation.
