Reading The Path to Rome | Alexandria
Read The Path to Rome by Hilaire Belloc. Weaving skepticism with spiritual yearning, Belloc's rambling travelogue exposes the fallacy of pure rationalism through a 1,000-mile walking pilgrimage. His radical proposition - that joy trumps efficiency - confronts our obsession with optimization. By embracing uncertainty and detours, he shows how the longest path often reveals the deepest truths.
