Discover the captivating journey of William Spencer in his Amazon #1 Bestseller, Far Sweeter Than Honey: Searching For Meaning On A Bicycle
Hello again, dear audiobooks friends! Today’s spotlight article is dedicated to Far Sweeter Than Honey: Searching For Meaning On A Bicycle, an Amazon #1 nonfiction bestseller from author William Spencer.
Narrated by the author himself, this almost 12-hour-long audiobook invites us as listeners to a bicycling adventure we’ll never forget.
Imagine cycling from England to India in an 8,500-mile epic journey, before GPS or cell phones. You’re traveling alone through the mystical East as borders slam shut; you confront wild animals, sexual predators, and a deep cultural divide.
Journey with the author by bicycle across 13 countries as borders slam shut; face wild animals, grifters, sexual predators, and extreme culture shock. This is the riveting true story of a young man’s solo bicycle odyssey: freezing in the Anatolian mountains of Turkey, confounded by butterflies in the empty Iranian desert, passing through the rubble of a coup in Kandahar, Afghanistan, and surviving dire illness in Pakistan’s Indus valley. His journey ends in the heart of the subcontinent, having glimpsed true freedom. This is an account of humankind’s essential goodness, of trusting unseen hands that can steer us from disaster, and of learning that the way out is through.
Originally from the UK, William Spencer is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. He has traveled, lived and worked on several continents. After spending seventeen years going back and forth to India (subsequently by airplane), he settled with his wife and two young children in New Jersey, USA.
His work with Fortune 1000 companies focuses on making the workplace more human through participative learning and employee-centric change. His curiosity about other cultures persists. His quest for meaning continues.
I’m planning to start this adventure soon and I will return with a full review for Far Sweeter Than Honey: Searching For Meaning On A Bicycle, in late September or early October.
If you’re interested in this audiobook, you can find it on Amazon or Audible. I hope you’ll join me in experiencing this promising story and please don’t forget to take care, stay safe, and always listen with your heart!
