A Million Steps
A Memoir, Autobiography, Nonfiction book. The only thing we ultimately control is our reaction to events in our lives. Kurt...
Kurt Koontz thought he was well prepared for his 490-mile walking trip on the historic Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route in Spain. He was fit and strong. He had a good guidebook and all the right equipment. His pilgrim passport would grant him access to the shelter of hostels along the way. But all that, however helpful, did not begin to encompass the grandeur of his external or internal adventure. A Million Steps climbs over the high meadows of the Pyrenees, quests through the unceasing wind of the Meseta, and dances in the rains of Galicia. While following the yellow arrows that mark the route, Koontz also navigates through his personal history of addiction, recovery, and love. With outgoing humor and friendliness, he embraces the beauty of the countryside and joyful connections to other pilgrims from around the world. Part diary, part travelogue, A Million Steps is a journey within a journey all the way to the Cathedral de Santiago de Compostela and beyond.

More About A Million Steps
positive and negative energy we extend has a direct correlation to what we receive. It really hit me like a large stone to the forehead. Kurt Koontz, A Million Steps // If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody. Kurt Koontz, A Million Steps // The key, I decided, was to stop worrying about the many things in life that are beyond anyones control. When useless worry is removed from the brain, it opens up lots of space for actual living. Kurt Koontz, A Million Steps //
I generally like non-fiction books that have anything to do with adventure or travel. This one piqued my interest as it involves both, and especially because it is about one man's journey along El Camino de Santiago, which is the same pilgrimage taken by my sister a few years ago. Overall I liked the book. The author clearly believed... Optimistic and interesting book telling a story of one American walking Camino de Santiago. I truly recommend this book to anyone considering walking the famous Way or to anyone standing at crossroads in their life. Beautiful stepssowords sometimes are hard to find to describe your own feelings and at the same time do not want to give it away...awesome, with reality all The way
