What Makes This Book Great?! Jonathan Krakauer's Into the Wild

On today's episode, Chad is visited by Charlie Moss, Richie Daigle, Chris Collins, and Matt McLelland to discuss an interesting choice: Jonathan's Krakauer's Into the Wild.

Why is it an interesting choice for The Humanist? Well, on the surface it might seem like the adventure-seeking Chris McCandless's tragic story might not be the subject matter for our discussions. Yet it is when seen through the interpretive lens of life decisions, good and bad decisions, reactions and responses in compliance and against our parents. Also, in seeking "Truth" and the expression of an authentic life.

Check out our rich discussion of this powerful book, and learn what makes this book great.
