![]() ![]() ![]() After her first visit, she returned to Bhutan two more times. At the same time, Napoli discovered the beginnings of a joy and personal healing that had eluded her at home. During her time there, she experienced endless fascination, but also sadness, caused by the Bhutanese obsession with television and all things Western. For six weeks, the author immersed herself in an ancient but vibrant culture just emerging from centuries of self-imposed isolation. Disillusioned with her love life and fed up with her job as a public-radio commentator, Napoli took a chance on a mysterious stranger’s offer of unpaid work in a country where “eing, not having” and “appiness above wealth” were the prevailing national philosophies. The author provides a readable account of her life-changing decision to leave the comforts of her cosmopolitan Los Angeles life and serve as a volunteer at Kuzoo FM 90, a radio station for young people in the remote Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan. ![]() Enjoyable memoir about ex-journalist Napoli’s search for wholeness and spiritual renewal. ![]()
