{"product_id":"2940013147072","title":"So, You Think You Really Wanna?","description":"This book might help you answer some questions that may have crossed your mind once or twice. The questions might be along the lines of: Would you want to quit your job or maybe \"retire\" and take to the open road? Would you want to use your \"time off\" to travel across the United States and see places you have read, heard or dreamed about? This book is the third in a series of three books and takes the reader through the last part of the author's journey across and around the United States. The book describes places, people, ideas, opinions and best of all, the freedom to leave it all behind. The book is a continuation of the \"why's, how's and where's\" of getting away from the working world. So grab this book and decide for yourself the answer to the question \"So, You Think You Really Wanna?\". \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile the first paragraph touches on the gist of this book, the book also provides the reader with an easy, fun read. Inside you'll experience the wonder of moving from place to place at a constant, and yet inconsistent and unscheduled, pace of life on the road. Out on the road the author's mind wandered - just like his routes along the highways. You'll feel his love for the open road and the joy of not knowing where the next stop would be. The lack on an itinerary may unsettle you; then again, it may just spark a wandering spirit in you. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThough many miles were driven simply because they could be, there were often times when the author stopped to look up old friends, friends of friends, his relatives, and relatives of friends. You will begin to see how people became as important, and then more important, than the places he visited. You will feel what it might have been like to have the freedom to get away from the office, clients, schedules and an almighty income. You may just decide that what you felt would be a great idea might not be as great as you thought. This book might also serve as a travel guide for your future travels across the wide open plains, into the mountains, along the shorelines, and through National Parks, Forests and Monuments. You might even realize the small towns of America are worth a stop and a visit. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book tells the story about the final third of what was a once-in-a-lifetime journey. To know the entire story, you'll need to read Steve's other two books titled \"So, You Think You Wanna?\" and \"So, You Think You Still Wanna?\". \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSteve Verseman is a regular guy, and a dreamer. Steve followed a fairly normal path through life - grade school, high school, college and then into a career. His life continued with more normalcy - marriage, home ownership, community service and a continuation of his career. Yep, just a regular guy. Along the path of life, Steve began to dream a little more. He dreamed of retiring at an early age, but reality always woke him up from that dream. Then came one of those moments in life where a monumental decision needed to be made. His career - no, rather the job - and other life circumstances led him toward a chance at his dream. With one surprising decision he was on his way to living his dream. He quit his job, packed up a few belongings and hit the open road for a two year \"retirement\".","brand":"Dog Ear Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47068644901104,"sku":"2940013147072","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013147072_p0.jpg?v=1763577014","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013147072","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
