Its 7:00pm on a late summer's afternoon in Johannesburg, and Mark Crandon is sipping his banana smoothie when tears start to fall. He is 27 years old, he has just been retrenched from his job with a leading private equity firm, He has two houses, a beautiful girlfriend, a perfect family and wonderful friends yet he felt as though he was drowning, life seemed meaningless. My Bike, My Buddha is a moving, potent, and piercing look at how we live our lives, how we often suffer and how we can find a way out of suffering. During a journey on his bicycle around South America, Mark discovers the most astonishing people in the most unexpected places. It is a profoundly personal odyssey that takes him from tropical beaches to the driest desert in the world, from the greatest jungle to the snow-capped peaks of the Andes, as life reveals an ancient and noble path of how to live. It is a remarkable reflection on how we can live better and find happiness in this chaotic world. This is a story of one man's cycle, a story of how he came to peace with great loss, how he found understanding and acceptance, and finally how he was able to fulfill a promise and say goodbye. In this uniquely honest and touching story, the author transcends his ordinary life by riding his bike and discovering the Buddha within.
