When you think about travel, the first decisions that might come to mind are, “how much time can I get off work?” and “where should I go next?” But are these the most important questions to ask? Philosophical traveler and best-selling author, Eric Weiner, pushes us to think further about our decisions in travel in our final episode of Season 1 for Figuring It Out.
Our conversation leads to the creation of a new industry - travel therapy - and introduces philosophical concepts that turn the question of “where do I want to travel next?” into “who do I want to be next?”
Eric Weiner is author of the New York Times bestsellers The Geography of Bliss and The Geography of Genius, as well as the critically acclaimed Man Seeks God and The Socrates Express: In Search of Life Lessons from Dead Philosophers. For more information, visit: EricWeinerBooks.com.
