If you haven't heard of this book title, I highly recommend checking it out! I just encountered it and got completely sucked in. The photography is gorgeous, the concept is awesome and the around-the-world experience is so thought provoking.
80 people who live utterly and completely different lives around the globe are featured, with a depiction of what they ate that day. The calorie counts range from 800 to over 12,000, but what is truly fascinating is the variation in human life and diet substance.
This lovely and truly remarkable book is a teleportation-travel all around the planet, but my take-home message is that it is a great reminder that life looks different on everyone. There are so many ways to live and thrive, and food can be all-consuming, or something to consume. Reading between the calorie lines to what makes these people tick, and what they spend their days DOING and BEING is the real story.
It encourages the thought, what do you use your food-fueled energy to do and be during your days? As this book shows, there are SO MANY ways to live our lives. Use that life-giving food energy to do and be EXACTLY what you dream of.
Here is a fitting quote, a favorite of my beautiful friend Marya's:
"Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?"
-Mary Oliver
