In Travel Therapy, Stuart Katz takes us through his life journey, and how he, like all of us, is shaped by his upbringing and relationships with those closest to him. The stories of early childhood are sprinkled with earnest mirth and will bring a genuine smile to those who've been there. If this book were just about childhood, relationships, and faith, it would certainly be interesting but perhaps not of interest to as many. What makes this book stand out is just how profoundly Stuart's extensive travels throughout the world shape his worldview and impact his overall sense of self. Although his deep faith is resonant throughout the book, his views on so many 'certainties' change as he recognizes the aspirations of our fellow planetary travelers, and in so doing, recognizes his own yearning. We see that the best place on Earth is the Earth itself. The best people on Earth are the people themselves, and travel is the best way to kickstart a path to inevitable and healing growth."
