Depression and the Deeper Message

Some of the world’s greatest minds have turned a personal tragedy, humiliation, or failure into success by repurposing their experience into new meaning. (Click on the link below to see the ReinosBlog post.)

Depression and the deeper message — ReinosBlog

In the link above, the author refers to the Camino de Santiago as an experience that has replenished his soul and allowed him to realign his outlook. In Camino Sunrise: Walking With My Shadows, I describe Sue’s and my walk across Spain and how it triggered confrontations with demons from my past. It is a message of hope weaved with the adventure of one of the world’s great distance trails. I am grateful for the reactions from readers. Here is one: “I just sat down and started it on Sunday and here I am on Monday evening posting my review…please read it…a truly wonderful read.”

The Most Popular Books, by the Year

Are you curious which book was most popular the year you were born?

The most popular book the year I was born was Charlotte’s Web, but it would take me more than 20 years to read it. Let me rephrase; I would be 22 before I read it. That’s better, although I was probably a slow reader those first few years.

I did not see what data bestproducts.com used, but you will recognize many or maybe all the titles. The Giver and Catcher in the Rye are two of my favorites on the list that covers 1945 through 2019. I wonder, though, if someone born in 2019 is ready forThe Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides.
