The Audiobook.
For Eric Travis, hiking the Pacific Crest Trail was not about hiking. It was about expanding his mental development by listening to audiobooks. Over the 156-day and 2,500 plus mile journey, Travis completed 71 audiobooks on a wide range of genres such as religion, history, personal development, and literary classics—all of which served to expand his knowledge, cultural awareness, and business acumen.
Originally released exclusively as an audiobook, Wander Purposefully: A Reflection on how to Love Learning introduces the reader to ABSORBENT LEARNING, a practical lifestyle that encourages and inspires learning for the sake of learning. Travis welcomes you—the learner—to envision and apply his techniques within your existing daily routines. Many of his techniques hide in plain sight and require minimal effort. The three types of ABSORBENT LEARNING—auditory, visual, and experiential—define a new learning lifestyle that benefits not only the learners and their surrounding communities, but ultimately the world at large.
Audiobook available on Audible or on any other audiobook platform.
The Hardcover.
ABSORBENT LEARNING coaches anyone, especially those with the busiest of schedules, how to maximize new learning potential and bring more focused purpose into their daily lives. This book is highly recommended to anyone seeking to live with a greater sense of intention and connection to the world around them.
The Paperback.
“[H]e beautifully explains how to translate this learning into building relationships, expanding your worldview, and developing empathy and compassion. His approach is unconventional, but that's what's needed to awaken our society's shallowness and stupor when it comes to loving learning. Buy, read/listen, and wander purposefully!”

The eBook.
“When we all struggle to find time to learn, Wander Purposefully provides a wonderful learning experience … on how we can make new learning achievable and fun. Though we won't all be able to take months off work to hike the PCT, we can structure our time to learn in those ‘white spaces’ of our day, focusing our most complex thinking in the points of the day we are the most alert, while switching to the less dense materials as our minds wear out over the course of the day.”
