What Readers Say about "Lost on Purpose" ('Verified Purchase' reviews on Amazon):

** 'I have no idea why i have not heard of this book, as this is all I read. And this will go down as one of my all-time favorites. Also, I read the entire book in half a day, which I never do. For me it was a combination of "The Kindness of Strangers", "Into the Wild", & "Travels Across America". If I could give it 10 stars, I would..'

** 'I have read multiple books on journeys similar to this, but they never got into the heart & soul of the journeyman. This book addresses not only the struggles with the environment but also with the mind. I'd follow Taylor on any adventure he chooses to write about...'

** Loved this man's trip. Set a goal, persevered & accomplished it, learning more about himself & stretching his limits to the danger point. Real, emotions expressed without going overboard, but nevertheless quite real. I enjoyed the book. No bragging or ego tripping, just a man setting a tough goal for himself & suffering & enjoying the journey. Have a couple of friends that will enjoy it this Christmas!'

** 'This is second one of his books I've read. Just confirms my thoughts of giving up the office, emails, deadlines etc.. & cashing in everything for a more simple fulfilling life. Patrick gives me encouragement even as we get older we can chase our dreams.' (for "River Hippies & Mountain Men")

** '..this book was the ultimate escape vehicle to a lifestyle I could only dream about. An incredible adventure by a remarkable man; well written, hard to put down, up all night sort of stories. I was almost disappointed when it ended." (for "Alone on Purpose")

** 'I've enjoyed Pat's books before, but this one immersed me into totally new adventures...ones that I had no idea were on the radar. He just carries you along in his backpack. Pat doesn't hold back when it comes to describing his thoughts and take on life. He is honest & open & daring. What's next?' (for "Lost & Found")
