The travel stories are engrossing and the concept is sensational! All colleges and universities should distribute this book to their students and to the parents of the students. This work positions Davidsen as the up-and-coming Steven Covey of the 21st century. Bravo.

I started rowing my freshman year in college. I had never imagined that I would win the World Championships while I was finishing medical school or that I would row in the 1992 Olympics while continuing my medical education. The key for me was setting goals and dedicating myself to my passion. This book will introduce you to these two valuable skills and many more.

As a recruiter, I look for particular skills from applicants who come from a diverse range of educational backgrounds. More young adults need to read this book and develop the skills that are discussed in each chapter before they graduate from college. If they do, they will find more success and happiness not only in the workplace but in other aspects of their lives as well.

Book Description
In this hugely entertaining first-person thriller, Davidsen vividly recounts his 600-day backpacking adventure around the world and interweaves his amazing stories with basic motivational concepts and exercises. This is a unique adventure-travel / motivational book written specifically for young adults. While "600 Days" is written primarily for high school and college students, it also appeals to parents of these students and people who enjoy traveling and reading about positive experiences. As you discover the excitement of exotic places including Malawi, Vietnam, South Africa, Turkey and Nepal, you will uncover the secrets to maximizing your personal fulfillment and achieving your ultimate goals.

From the Author
I started writing this book in 1996 at the age of 22 because I wanted to inspire other young adults to find ways to dedicate more time identifying and pursuing their individual passions and interests. My personal passion was to travel around the world. By finding a way to achieve this dream, I reached a level of personal satisfaction that I want everyone to have the opportunity to experience. What you will find in each chapter of this book is an exciting travel story that wraps into a basic motivational concept designed to help you more enjoy daily life. I believe that too many books (especially motivational books) solely target older audiences when the concepts, exercises and skills would most benefit young adults. 600 Days: A motivational adventure to 30 countries is a uniquely interactive motivational book that high school and college students (as well as other young adults and their parents) relate to and get excited by. In addition to entertaining you with some of my X-treme backpacking stories from around the world, this book simultaneously provides you with the tools you need to better enjoy daily life as you learn to actualize your most distant dreams and achieve your personal goals. Additionally, each chapter has a unique web component (accessed at 600days.com) that is not found in other books. I look forward to hearing your success stories as you apply some of the easiest and most effective techniques you will find anywhere. I look forward to your future dreams becoming your present reality.
