Funny and thought-provoking

I really enjoyed this poet-plumber's trip from California to India and Tibet, learning not only about these countries but also about his quest to find spiritual enlightenment. His humour keeps the quest grounded in reality. "A Plumber's Progress" is the male equivalent to "Eat, Pray Love", and, indeed this is the same plumber mentioned in that book. Merely scanning the book will not reveal its poetic and philosophical gems. Dig in and read it from cover to cover!

A delightful and uplifting book

This is an exciting adventure written from a refreshing and humorous point of view. It makes a great gift, too.
