The ***** review at the amazon site in the UK reads:
“I imagine that if Alexander The Great read this book he would nod and say…“Excellent!”
Alexander The Great came to Siwa, Egypt, to consult the Oracle and Joel Stratte-McClure, besides walking on the Mediterranean coast across Egypt, appears to have made a similar pilgrimage. But besides the Oracle Temple, the oasis is known for its unique and enchanting desert scenery and microclimate.
‘The Idiot and the Odyssey III’ takes you on a spontaneous journey to the hot and cold desert springs, sand dunes and local oasis life.
And like the Spanish Shepherd who arrives in Siwa in “The Alchemist,” the novel by Paolo Coelho, Stratte-McClure makes a series of historical and personal discoveries. He complements them with “how to” and “where to go’” tips based on his authentic experience, thus reviving the art of true traveling and serious sea-and-desert questing.
A true “pill to happiness” is in the way we voyage through the world and Stratte-McClure has done a great job on presenting how to find happiness anywhere and with anyone.”
