The Worrier's Guide to the End of the World: Love, Loss, and Other Catastrophes--through Italy, India, and Beyond
Autor Torre DeRocheen Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 sep 2017
A
funny
and
heartwarming
story
of
one
woman's
attempt
to
walk
off
a
lifetime
of
fear--with
a
soulmate,
bad
shoes,
and
lots
of
wine.
But the magical hills of Italy are nothing like the dusty and merciless roads of India where the pair wind up, improvising a pilgrimage in the footsteps of Gandhi along his march to the seaside. Hoping to catch the nobleman's fearlessness by osmosis and end the journey as wise, svelte, and kick-ass warriors, they are instead unravelled by worry that this might be one adventure too far. Coming face-to-face with their worst fears, they discover the power of friendship to save us from our darkest moments.

Recenzii
"Like
so
many
of
us,
Torre
DeRoche
is
wracked
with
fear,
doubt,
uncertainty,
anxiety;
unlike
so
many
of
us
DeRoche
figured
she
might
as
well
walk
250
miles
through
India.
Which
she
does,
with
humor,
grace,
insight
and
a
fair
amount
of
grit,
too,
in
this
lovely
and
wholly
uplifting
account
of
confronting
our
fears...
Luckily
(and
always
enviously)
inThe
Worrier's
Guide
to
the
End
of
the
Worldwe
get
to
tag
along."
--- Carl Hoffman, bestselling author ofSavage Harvest
"Torre's managed to write a witty and engrossing tale of loss, pain, and transformation that captivates the reader as magically as her first book. Like her previous work, I couldn't put it down! I highly recommend it!"
--- Matt Kepnes,New York TimesBestselling Author ofHow to Travel the World on $50 a Day
"A moving account of conquering fears while walking a pilgrim's path. Also funny as f@#k."
--- Janice MacLeod, author ofNew York TimesbestsellerParis Letters
"Each journey provides valuable lessons about embracing the unexpected and releasing control. DeRoche's writing is conversational and her humor, in shades of black, is copious...a page-turning memoir."
—Booklist
"A pair of fearless female friends team up on a journey through India and Italy in a memoir about courage, loss and resilience."—The New York Post, Required Reading list
"Full of relatable, funny and moving advice for anyone who has longed to see the world but felt that niggling feeling that wants to hold them back. Best of all, it demonstrates that the best way to confront fear is to meet it head on, and to laugh at it along the journey."—BUST.com
