Book excerpt: What begins as a journey and an education of the great outdoors ends as a journey and an education of the deep indoors and a close look at what makes us up and influences our decisions. When Ed and some friends set off for an overnight backpacking trip near Mt. Whitney they expected that they were in for a great adventure. They found themselves discovering many interesting facts and practical tips about the wilderness, nature and ecology. As they climbed further up the mountain, however, a mystery is revealed to them and they decide to extend the outing to discover the meaning behind the mystery which leads them to learn much more than they could have imagined. Unknown to them, this makeshift group of seven hikers produce a combination of personalities that would unlock the mysteries of the natural universe, provide them with the blueprint for sustained happiness, grant them extra-natural gifts and expose personal shortcomings of human nature which serve to unlock a philosophical tone ripe for introspection, self evaluation and self improvement.
