The thrilling happenings of the four friends’ Man Mission adventures while interjecting these with bouts of occurrences in their lives. I got fascinated by what they had accomplished during their trips. Sometimes the conversations are humorous, other times they are emotive or insightful.  This book would make me want to travel the world and very interesting. A Man Mission. I enjoyed reading it. Thank you for the review!

From my point of view, I compare Themes and their contents ... and the contents are a little deviated from the theme itself, and will make the reader a little disappointed.thanks😁

Eat, Pray, Love, from a man's perspective.

Four blokes take a week-long adventure trip – hiking, biking, or kayaking – each year, for fifteen years, starting in their late 20s. In the course of their travels, they hitch a ride with drug dealers in New Zealand, down kava shots on Fijian beaches, come face-to-face with a roaring lion in South Africa, luxuriate in a resort intended only for Vietnamese Communist officials, trek to Machu Picchu, and go ice climbing in Iceland.

Along the way they get married, start families, establish careers, and do all the stuff upright men are supposed to do. But when the challenges of real life come into conflict with the perfect lives they are supposed to be living, their friendship, and the yearly Man Mission, become something much more than an annual getaway – a source of stability, and a place to find redemption.

Part travel narrative and part roman à clef, Man Mission follows four regular guys across fifteen years, on an international, adventure-packed, humor-filled search for meaning and purpose, in a world where the traditional rules of “being a man” are no longer clear.

The book seems to be very interesting, it shows us the different perspective of life while we are still on earth, a different adventure or lets say a different situation that we may encounter while we are still here, and taught as a lesson that we may use when ever we encounter such situation. I can't wait to have this book.

I have to admit that reading this review, I first thought of "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" by Ann Brashares, except this book focuses on four men. I also must admit I did not really enjoy reading The Sisterhood. Perhaps these kind of books are not my cup of tea.

It seems like an uplifting book full of adventures. I hope that this is a character-driven story as I'm interested on how people deal with their challenges in life. I'm going to check this one out soon.

Great review! I've also read this book and loved the travel descriptions, although I did feel like at times there was too much emphasis on bro culture

When I started reading this book i thought that they were just stories of travel, but this story has another interesting part which is the life of the author and his friends. It is a very nice read.
