On the way to enlightenment. That could also have been the tilte of this book about Ed, an adrenaline junkie, who, after traveling the world, comes back to Ireland at a point in his life where he meets Streaky, a spiritual master in disguise, who talks about another way of living. What they do together is run, talk about it, enter marathons, and use it as a metaphor for life. While on this very personal journey, Ed learns what it is to live a more simple and spiritual live.
This book is convoluted in the best sense of the word, it's almost luike a mindmap of Ed, it's very well written, and full of little gems of wisom, like "occupy your mind with love" and "wisdom is not something you have, but a wavelength you tune into." Reading this novel is a great opportunity to get to know Matt Padwick more a little better and see getting to enlightenment in action. A great read.
