Around the World in 60 Seconds: The Nas Daily Journey―1,000 Days. 64 Countries. 1 Beautiful Planet.

Love the photography. There are inspiring stories in this book, and some good ideas on how to approach life. For me, it was lacking depth, but I can see how it might be inspiring and eye-opening for many.

What can you learn in a 60 seconds? If you have seen one of Nas Daily videos, a lot. For 1,000 days Nusrir Yassin traveled the world and made videos of 60 seconds for each day on the road then posted them to Facebook. This book goes a little deeper into the 1,000 days, with his story and some behind the scenes looking at some of the more interesting places he visited during his journey.

A drone's eye view, if you will. Or, old-school metaphor, like a stone being skipped across the lake. I prefer something more in-depth and more grounded, like [b:Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World – and Why Things Are Better Than You Think|34890015|Factfulness Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World – and Why Things Are Better Than You Think|Hans Rosling|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1544963815l/34890015._SY75_.jpg|56144100]. Maybe the videos are better but I'll never know as I'm a reader, not a viewer.

Gail Peters map projection, ili translator (how Star Trek!) and lots of other awesome cheap tech, men (not people!) exercising at Fann Beach, almost every stop being even more show more awesome than the last... it's a mess of a book. Mostly happy, though, or at least optimistic. Good to dip into while waiting for the covid vaccine so we can travel again. (Too bad this library copy already has come loose from its spine; I think maybe they cheaped out....) show less
