Download or read book The Rocket Years written by Elizabeth Segran and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-03-31 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Defining Decade for the #Adulting generation—a book that blends storytelling and data to unpack the choices you make in your twenties, why they matter, and how to turn those critical years into a launchpad for the life you want. We tend to think of our twenties as a playground for life: A time for low-consequence experimentation and delaying big decisions. But the truth is that while you’re muddling through those years—exploring new cities, dating the wrong people, hopping between jobs—a small shift in your flight path can mean the difference between landing on Mars or Saturn. As the data shows, the choices we make (or put off) during this critical decade about our career, marriage, health, friends, even downtime have the greatest impact on how our lives play out. For example, did you know that people who marry between the ages of 28 and 32 have the lowest risk of divorce? And that the average 25 year old has 20 close friends, but this will shrink to 8 after age 40? And that most of us don’t acquire new hobbies after we hit our thirties? Rather than prescribing one correct path (who are we kidding, there’s no such thing anyway!), Elizabeth Segran invites readers to think critically and holistically about the life they want to build. With signature warmth and humor, Segran is the guide we all wish we had to show us the way. Blending insightful anecdotes with research from economics, sociology, and political science, The Rocket Years is an empowering exploration of these exciting, confusing, wonderful years.
Download or read book Travel Like a Millionaire Without Being One written by Sigrid Carter and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2018-04-12 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sigrid Carters life story is worthy of becoming a movie. This was true before she even turned thirty. As an adventurous girl in her twenties, she and three girlfriends from Germany trekked from Colorado to the Pacific coast of Panama, where the group of friends took a canoe into the ocean, got lost, and found themselves surrounded by sharks, just as bad weather set in. Somehow, they survived. The tide carried them to the shores of Columbia, where they spent time living with Indians. Further into their exciting adventure, they assisted biologists researching the Amazon rain forests. The chief of that US expedition later became Sigrids husband. A Peruvian filmmaker did, in fact, turn the ordeal into a television movie, but before the girls had the chance to see the movie, they were already in Chile, busy continuing the lives most of us can only imagine.

Download or read book Finding Solace through Travel written by Nilima Pradhan and published by Nilima Pradhan. This book was released on 2020-04-22 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Travel is not a luxury, it is a necessity. Most people do not understand this hard fact of life. “Life is a journey that must be traveled no matter how bad the roads and accommodations”- Oliver Goldsmith If I don’t travel I feel I’m missing an important part of my life. I need to travel to release stress, to get back to my senses. The kind of stressful life we have now-a-days, we are hardly living in true sense. I sometimes wonder, do we even know our self in totality? Have you ever questioned who you are and what you really like doing? Have you ever questioned is life just waking up in the morning, going to office and getting back home? Is that what you are born to do in this earth? When was the last time you slept peacefully like a baby? I am sure most of you won’t be happy to answer these questions. You don’t have to let me know, please answer it to yourself. If the answer of any of these questions is not satisfying to you, then I suggest you pack your bags and travel. Travel can do wonders! There is a quote by Saint Augustine, which goes “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page”. I have tried to narrate about few of the places where I’ve been which has helped my personal growth and healed my soul.
Download or read book Escape The Real Motivation for Leisure Travel written by Jens Kaulbars and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2013-08-06 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2009 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,0, University of Applied Sciences Bremerhaven, language: English, abstract: Human behaviour is one of the most interesting topics to be studied, but also one of the most complex. But who would not be relieved if he would know the reason why humans sometimes behave as they do? Especially in the field of tourism, a domain of intense human interaction, where offering services is the core activity of most businesses, it would be quite favourable to predict how potential customers or business partners do react; or if the extensive marketing spending has the desired impact. Consequently, this work focuses on the topic of human motivation, particularly on the motivation of travelling behaviour, drawing attention to a field that is as diverse as the ways it can be approached. Tourism researchers usually refer to an established set of theories and models to describe motivated behaviour, of which Maslow’s ‘Hierarchy of Needs’ probably is the most renowned. But considering its year of publication, it is remarkable that there is no established contemporary approach to behavioural research. Accordingly, the objective of this work is to develop a theoretical model relating the variety of leisure travel elements to as few as possible underlying motivations, being responsible for thriving one of the biggest industrial sectors of the world. Research was carried out by undertaking in-depth interviews in the context of grounded theory methodologies, investigating the travel behaviour, experiences and motives of a small sample, detecting relations and dependencies, and drawing according conclusions. Based on the analysed data a theoretical model emerged, defining the motivation for any leisure travel activities as psychological escape, an instinctive reflex to a temporary dissatisfaction caused by a variety of influences.

It threads together reflective memoir, evocative travelogue, research, conversation, advice and big ideas.

By unpacking these motivations, and digging into the science of where they come from, this book asks how travel intersects with the rest of our lives, answering key questions such as: Why do we travel? How do we do it better? Can it help us to live more fulfilling lives?
