#ReadThis #TheWorldWalk Seven Years in Search of Meaning By #TomTurcich @skyhorsepub

The triumph of the human spirit is a topic that always interests us, and it is truly universally appealing. Tom Turcich and his beloved pooch are phenomenally inspirational to our worldwide panel, and their travels and stories that go with it are a triumph to read.

Holiday gift-giving is right around the corner, and this makes a great gift for the person that has everything or that you don't know that well because we cannot imagine anyone not liking it. Oreos are universally appealing and thank you to Peachy's aunt who brought them to her when she was a student in Ireland. Of course we liked the Ireland part in particular.

From philosophical travel insights to personal tales, Tom will capture your heart and inspire you whether you read it on your commute or on your way to your own travel destination. Or if you are infirm, it is a great way to experience the world through another's eyes.

Up with Dead Poets society; oh captain, my captain!

An extraordinary life truly DOES exist in the realm of action.

We recommend The World Walk! Especially if you like to walk YOUR dog.

28,000 miles. 6 continents. 38 countries.

The World Walk is the invigorating true story of a man who circled the globe on foot.

After the death of a close friend at seventeen, Tom Turcich resolved to make the most out of life; to travel and be forced into adventure; to experience and understand the world. On April 2nd, 2015, he set out to see it all—one foot in front of the other.

The World Walk is the emotional and exhilarating story of the tenth person and first dog to walk around the world. Together, Turcich and his dog Savannah covered twenty-eight thousand miles over the course of seven years. Through deserts, jungles, cities, and mountains, Turcich meditated on what’s important in life and took lessons from cultures around the globe.

Rarely has there been a true-life tale of such scope. From sheltered suburbanite to world traveler, Turcich’s epic account runs the full gamut: He is held up at knifepoint in Panama and gunpoint in Turkey; wanders deep within himself in the deserts of Perú; watches a democracy fortify itself in Georgia; and takes it all in with his resolute companion, Savannah, by his side. His growth spans the most basic elements of surviving on the road: finding food, water, and safe places to camp; to humanity’s more noble aspirations, such as the benefits of democracy, the search for love, and the weighing of personal significance.

Accompanied by some of the author's world-class photography, this tour de force memoir of resilience and triumph of the human spirit will reaffirm to readers that the world is beautiful, people are good, and life should be a generous, vibrant adventure.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
