From striking mixed metaphors like "This feels like a happy town, a happy morning, except, I guess, for the goat who is about to be butchered on the roadside", the humorous as example "I'm getting old and soft: the weight saving gained by cutting my toothbrush in half is now outweighed by its irritation factor" and deep, meaningful insights such as "the ageless river reminds me that my own time is fleeting" - I just have to say I loved the manner in which this story was told. Author admits at the end this is not so much a travel book, but "an attempt to articulate my fascination with the open road and the magnetism of the next horizon" and all I can say is he most assuredly succeeded and had me entranced as well.Great book for discovering "the intoxicating cocktail of wanderlust and the freedom to explore" and I moist definitely recommend! ### ⭐ Banging your head against a brick wall to enjoy stopping *by S***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2019* That sentence is how the author's friend described his adventures, and it also describes my experience reading the book. I finished it because I'm in a book club discussing it, and because I hoped he might eventually get to a substantive point. He talks much of living each day with a sense of purpose, but I agree with the passages when he describes his own "quest" as pointless and masochistic. Finding purpose, challenge, and suffering is easy enough in any life without artificially manufacturing replacements that help nobody. There are many causes and challenges worth embracing, and this heroic adventurer chose to apply his significant talent and resources to none of them.On the positive side, I like his writing. Many pithy passages are inspiring when divorced from the silly quest context.I realize this lone 1-star rating is immersed in a sea of 5-star praise. I'm the outlier, and I may very well have missed the point in my increasingly irritated skim. Not my cup of chai. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ In search of yourself, beyond your known limits *by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2011* I ordered on a whim, "hmmm, travel. I'll read the Kindle version and maybe get a printed one for my wife for Christmas"Within two pages the author's skill shined through and a paper copy was ordered as a present. I'm now off to read the rest and return here with a full review.A few hours later ...The promise of the first two pages was fulfilled through the ends.Do not enter here for a description of India. There are glimpses of the country, but the focus lies elsewhere.Do enter here for a meditation through the course of a composite day of a quest fulfilled through walking from coast to coast in India. Alastair somewhat impulsively decides to walk across India. He is familiar with extended physical challenge. Through his writing you can (re)experience meeting a challenge that may or may not be within your abilities.The honest writing of There Are Other Rivers allows you to vicariously go on such a quest. It's time well spent. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/26422723-there-are-other-rivers](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/26422723-there-are-other-rivers) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
