Assuming you go to work 40+ hours a week and will for 40+ years of your life.

If you want to take away those two assumptions, I strongly believe you can be a lot happier spending your time how you want - not at work.

I wrote an ebook on exactly that called "Work Less to Live Your Dreams" - http://amzn.to/2vVzpbG

I spent two years driving from Alaska to Argentina and am now driving around Africa for two years. http://theroadchoseme.com

All the tireless self promotion on these type of posts in your downtime seems exhausting though

All things considered, it's by far the easiest and least time consuming part of my life - probably by a factor of 100 or 1000. i.e. this was over a week of my life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z740focQL4U

Why do I feel like you're selling something.

Eh, my book is the only thing I sell and it's $2.99.

If you don't want to, don't buy it. There are thousands of informative posts on my website, tens of thousands of photos and now hours of videos on YT for free.

Also, http://wikioverland.org is completely free, and is stacked with the info you need to drive your own vehicle around the world. It's my side project, and my way of giving back to the overland community.

Ask me anything you want to know about what I do, and I'm more than happy to help you get out there to live your dreams too.

"Oh cool article by someone else. Btw here's my PayPal address.

Whoa whoa whoa, if you don't want to send me money then just don't."

But how can it be tireless and exhausting at the same time?
