[NAGDU] on a lighter note

[Julie Johnson]

Several years ago, I participated in a project done by Chris Guillebeau , writer, blogger entrepreneur.  I knew of him through his blog: The Art of Nonconformity.

He was working on a book around the topic of personal quests.  I filled out the on line questionnaire and then later answered a series of email questions.  Perhaps a year later the book: “The Happiness of Pursuit” came out.  I purchased a paper copy always intending to scan and read it, but sadly it sat on the shelf collecting dust.

This morning while browsing through BARD I came across the book.  The full title is: “The Happiness of Pursuit: Finding the Quest That Will Bring Purpose To Your Life”.  DB79419
I began reading it right away, remembering  I was interested in the topic and had participated in his research.  I was pleasantly surprised to find that he included parts of my story in the book!  My personal quest has been to train my own guide dog.  My parts in the book are very minor.  There are probably hundreds of stories about people on personal quests in the book.  It’s fascinating to me to hear the other stories and feel a connection.  My reasons for owner training are so similar, especially to the young lady who sailed around the world.  

I agree somewhat with how my viewpoint was portrayed in the book.  Certainly if I had written it, I would emphasized different things.  It’s not bad though.  Anyway people ask me all the time why I want to owner train.  this book explains it better than I can!

So if you’re so inclined, check it out and let me know what you think.
