About this listen

Nobody should be going to college immediately after high school. They should be taking a two year road trip across the country to find out who they are and what they want out of life instead. But still, every year we send millions of inexperienced 18-year-olds down a path of debt, worthless degrees, poor employment prospects, commonness and misery. The results are two full generations of adults who wasted decades of their lives chasing dreams that would never come true. And sadly there's another generation on deck about to do the same. But it doesn't have to be this way. We can all become "Reconnaissance Men" instead.

The Reconnaissance Man (or Woman) takes the time to explore this country, not just to see what this country has to offer, but to find out who they are, where they belong, and what they really want out of life. They don't rush off to college, let alone return to get their "master's degree" until they know about the world around them and precisely how they fit in it. Of course, this journey may take months (more likely years) but that's better than wasting eight years in a school you hate, and 20 years in a career you loathe, only to find out you're 50 and there's no way you can undo what's been done. Become a Reconnaissance Man instead. It's easier, much more fun, and is how life was meant to be lived.

Read this book, or listened to it, and went on a 2,500 mile road trip, saved a lot of $$ and saw way more than I would have otherwise! You’re not a tourist, you’re a traveler, keep moving, skip the hot spots & wash your socks at the truck stops lol. How dare Clarey not write this book and get me to read it when I was a kid!

Great book, might get you to actually do something!

Been listening to Cappy for years on the Tunes. Never having read any of his books I reached out for consulting and he suggested this book. Thank God I listened to this gem in early 30s and not at 50.

Wish I read this at 20

Very helpful

great book, I live about 50 miles from from the author in minnesota. I am planning to visit Seattle, Salt Lake, and Vegas. Great book for someone who hasn't yet planted roots and wants to find a way out of their socialist hell hole state. I have 40-60 years left to work in my life. Minnesota is the coldest state and 6th highest taxed. Thanks Mark dayton.

The beginning wasn't as great as the ending.

my favorite quote from this book is " watch the Cubs lose at Wrigley Field"
Asshole gives a no-nonsense upfront way to see our great country as cheaply as possible
whether you are a young man or woman or even an old man or woman
