Rolf Potts newest book takes the form of a daily devotional. 366 short sections (one for each day of a leap year) each contain a nugget of travel wisdom.
Potts’ lifetime of travel could have resulted in a book entirely full of his personal reminisces, but instead he has written something both richer and more humble.
In an incredible act of curation, nearly every page has embedded insights from travel journals, novels, movies, and scientific studies.
The curated reading list for the traveler is worth far more than the cost to buy this book.
I’ve easily purchased a half dozen books and been exposed to many writers and thinkers that were unfamiliar to me before reading this.
As we fight the tsunami of content that floods our media landscape, expert curation is vital. Rolf Potts has created a generous and essential guide.
