Produktbeschreibung
John R. Morris, aka Morris the Cat, was at a crossroads in his life. He had many possessions, a good job, a loving family, and a predictable future. By all rights, he should have been happy. Disillusioned by depression, he turned to alcohol to numb his feelings. He wanted to make the stirrings of dissatisfaction go away. At last, he came to the realization that not only did something have to change, everything had to change. So he deconstructed. Selling all of his possessions, bidding adieu to his friends and family, he set out on the most famous hiking trail in the country-the Appalachian Trail. From Georgia to Maine, this trail features some of the toughest and ever-changing terrain. Though the path would challenge him in every way, Morris persisted. And with each challenge came change. John's encounters with life existing as a drifter detail not only his initial blind naïveté but his unyielding determination to give meaning and understanding to a world he no longer felt a part of.

Autorenporträt
The definition of success and happiness is not as simple as it sounds. For some people, it's downright confounding. No one knows this more than John R. Morris, aka Morris the Cat. Morris has always had a passion for writing. In the past seventeen years, he has explored his own prose along with the travelogues, journals, and backpacking adventures of others. His passions merged when his dissatisfaction rose and his health and relationships plummeted. He decided to leave his old life behind, become a wanderer for a year of his life, and set out on the Appalachian Trail. He succeeded in reshaping his vision of life, but not before it was stripped down to the bare bones in a way that only hardship and endurance can do. After two thousand miles of hiking, he has his own tale to tell-a tale of living in the "Chaotic Unknown."
