In FINDING MEANING, Andy Hertz invites us on a mysterious and fascinating journey, far from the maddening crowd. In a forest on top of the mountains, seven strangers gather together to discover something wonderful and inexplicable, something that none of them can find alone, but only in the togetherness of others. Written from the perspective of Marco, a man in his thirties who leaves the life of the city behind him and chooses the wilderness of the mountains, the book is a strong argument for returning to the roots, to the simple life, to beauty, and to a life with meaning. I strongly recommend it to everyone who feels the call of nature among the cinder blocks of modern civilization.
