Have you ever wanted to take a year off from your life? A
meandering, serendipitous journey around the world with your
family? It sounds impossible. But one day, David Elliot Cohen,
co-creator of the bestselling Day in the Life and America 24/7 book
series, decided to make this dream a reality. Over the course of
six months, he and his wife sold their house, cars, and most of
their possessions. He closed his business and pulled their three
young children out of school. With only a suitcase, a backpack, and
a passport per person, the Cohen family set off on a rollicking
round-the-world journey filled with laugh-out-loud mishaps,
heart-pounding adventures, and unforeseen epiphanies. In Botswana,
the Cohens's tiny motorboat is charged by a hippo. In Zimbabwe,
lions ambush a buffalo outside the family's tent. In Australia,
their young daughter is caught in a riptide and nearly pulled out
to sea. In One Year Off, you can join the family on a trek up a
Costa Rican volcano, cruise the canals of Burgundy by houseboat,
and ride ferries through the Greek Islands. Later, as the Cohens
wander further off the tourist trail, you can drive through the
villages of Rajasthan, traverse the vast Australian Nullarbor, and
discover the charms of Cambodia's Angkor Wat and the hidden
shangri-las of northern Laos. Over the course of these adventures,
the Cohens learn to live as a family twenty-four hours a day, seven
days a week and enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to spend
time together without the distractions of modern life. The author
rediscovers the world through his children's eyes and gains new
perspective of his own life. This humorous, heartfelt story is the
next best thing to taking the trip yourself
A warm and unforgettable portrait of a family letting go of the
known world to encounter an unfamiliar one filled with rich
possibilities and new understandings. Bruce Kirkby had fallen into
a pattern of looking mindlessly at his phone for hours, flipping
between emails and social media, ignoring his children and wife and
everything alive in his world, when a thought struck him. This
wasn't living; this wasn't him. This moment of clarity started a
chain reaction which ended with a grand plan: he was going to take
his wife and two young sons, jump on a freighter and head for the
Himalaya. In Blue Sky Kingdom, we follow Bruce and his family's
remarkable three months journey, where they would end up living
amongst the Lamas of Zanskar Valley, a forgotten appendage of the
ancient Tibetan empire, and one of the last places on earth where
Himalayan Buddhism is still practiced freely in its original
setting. Richly evocative, Blue Sky Kingdom explores the themes of
modern distraction and the loss of ancient wisdom coupled with
Bruce coming to terms with his elder son's diagnosis on the Autism
Spectrum. Despite the natural wonders all around them at times,
Bruce's experience will strike a chord with any parent-from rushing
to catch a train with the whole family to the wonderment and beauty
that comes with experience the world anew with your children.
