This easy-to-read edition features 236 photos and illustrations, answers to over 225 frequently asked questions, and new humorous short stories so that you can re-imagine Scott's quest. In fact, the whole book is a new perspective on the highlights and lowlights of the adventure--from dying of dehydration to being imprisoned in Zimbabwe to climbing Mt. Everest--and a whole philosophy of life.One of the mysteries Scott discovered was that everyone everywhere, regardless of age, race, gender or culture, asked the same questions in a similar order, proving we all share the same fears and joys and doubts and hopes. Falling Uphill flows in a similar order, and serves as a metaphor for your own journey through life, whether that be an adventurer, artist, scientist or whatever you dream to be.This special edition features an ancient magical secret to making your dream a reality, and several exercises (and additional surprises online) to help guide you through the creative process--by the time you've finished this book, not only will you have dreamed impossible dreams, but you'll have taken the first step on your new adventure.Scott Stoll lives a life the rest of us only dream of.~ Michael Berry, Bay Area book critic

<p>Falling Uphill: Second Edition. One man's quest for happiness around the world on a bicycle. In one week, Scott Stoll lost his job, his best friend, his girlfriend and his confidence. Disillusioned with society, full of angst, a lost and wandering soul with nothing left to lose, Stoll asked himself a question: "If I only have one life, one chance, if I could do anything, what would I do?" His answer resulted in a 4 year and 25,742 mile odyssey around the world by bicycle, seeking answers to the great mysteries of life, vowing to find happiness or die trying. The quest wasn't easy. He was imprisoned, held hostage, mugged, run over, suspected of terrorism, accused of espionage, trampled, diseased, heartbroken-he nearly died a dozen times. But more importantly, in the most unlikely places, Scott also discovered the wonders of the world, kindness among strangers, the meaning of life, peace, love and-Yes!-happiness.
