As a well renowned traveler and writer that explored the world Author Paul Theroux shares those experiences with readers in “The Tao of Travel: Enlightenments from Lives on the Road." The book is not merely a travel log of the places he has been but a combination of contemplation and imagination that intermingles with the most legendary writers that, too, have traveled the farthest ends of the globe from the east to the west through fiction and all that it possesses in color and smell and the most barren and exotic natural landscapes.From the beginning of the book Theroux stresses that books can take the reader to any place that they are open to travel and provides a way to fantasizing freedom on a road that paves a journey of endless possibilities. Simply stated, “Eventually, I saw that the most passionate travelers have always also been passionate readers and writers. And after reading that quote it will not be last, the book contains 27 thematic chapters that blend passages from Theroux’s previous books and writers that have inspired him as well from Ralph Waldo Emerson to T.S. Eliot and the quintessential writer of travel Paul Bowles. It had not always been the list of literati that sprung an interest in travel but his earliest childhood memory with the book “Donn Fendler: Lost on a Mountain in Maine" that has stayed with him with lasting impressions of lessons and inspiration and the wisdom of Buddha, “you cannot travel the path before you have become the path itself.” Not only does the tone of philosophy breathes through the book but also history and experiences that resonates with the greater meaning of what travel deeply means for those that have made the journey parallel to Theroux. There are several interesting parts of the book but one that stands out that relates to bridging of the gap between the past – the time spent traveling to a place and the present -- what it is during the moment it is experienced; this may be understood in the chapter “The Navel of the World.” Theroux makes and interesting point, “to travel in ignorance of a region’s history leaves you unable to understand the “why" of anything or anyone…learn as much about religions and social taboos and respect them” (Kindle location 702).After reading The Tao of Travel one may ask the same question Theroux asked, “what is your favorite travel book?”
