Inhaltsangabe

Travel for STOICs--THE travel book for the Solo Traveler who is Obsessive, Introverted, and Compulsive--is both a travel book and a survival manual, but of a different sort. It’s not about which great restaurants to patronize or what sites are a must-see in a given place; it’s about how to master solo travel challenges that happen in between those activities while successfully managing your O-C, introverted self. With advice from the Classical world’s Stoics and author Eva Rome, you will be empowered to experience the world with confidence and calm! “Engaging…adventurous readings of the great Stoic philosophers. Her goal throughout is to empower the introvert, intriguingly stressing the freedom that such travelers can have by striking out alone…oddly inviting…thought-provoking.” —Kirkus Reviews

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Eva Rome (Laurie McDonald) is a writer and a media artist. She has published three books, written feature-length screenplays and short stories. Her narrative nonfiction book "Travel for STOICs" empowers the solo traveler who is obsessive, introverted, and compulsive, informed by ancient Stoicism; and her collection of semiserious semiotic essays "What It Means: Myth, Symbol, and Archetype in the Third Millennium, Vol. 1," examines how myth, symbol, and archetype manifest in everyday American life in the early third millennium. In "Location X: A Quest for Place," a septuagenarian who still craves risk and adventure ditches her home and hits the road in search of a singular place that offers meaning beyond the mainstream. She has designed books, graphics for print and video, built websites, and manages a blog called "Our Childhood Homes: Stories About Place." In the early 1970s, she was a founding member of the video art collective Electron Movers, Research in the Electronic Arts, and her video art can be viewed here: www.lauriemcdonald.net. She has received a Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts and four American Film Institute/NEA Fellowships, and her video art has been exhibited internationally.
