The savagely funny, frightening, and eye-opening account of one man’s search for the meaning of life . . . and how it damn near killed him.
At twenty-seven, Rob Binkley had it all: a thriving Silicon Valley business, a beautiful girlfriend, and a helluva great life. But something was missing. Despite his success, Rob fantasized about shedding the shackles of his American Dream to live wild and free like his hero, legendary gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson.
When a series of setbacks sent Rob’s world reeling, a visit from his best friend—a Zen madman named Brian—convinced him to hatch an escape plan and follow his bliss in search of authentic life experiences. But would he find the meaning of life while backpacking through twenty-three countries before he and Brian went crazy from wallowing in every debauchery the world has to offer?
Let’s Go Mad is the amazing true story of their year abroad, crossing the globe on a sideways search in all the wrong places, with all the wrong people, at all the wrong times. And just as Brian’s lust for life inspired Rob to embrace his inner lunatic, pushing the limits of sanity (and their friendship) into one merry blur—they would come to realize there’s more to life than mere mad experience.
