3 Cups of Tea

Hero Recipe:

-Follow your bliss
-Go Climb a Mountain
-Almost kill yourself saving someone's life on K2
-Get saved by a foreign Muslim culture 3 or 4 times
-Create a global movement towards peace by having tea with Muslim Clerics. 

In a nutshell, this follows Greg Mortenson's recipe for peace as portrayed in the book 3 Cups of Tea.   Quite simply put: Greg Mortenson is a man who has been blessed with an ability to follow through on his word.   No doubt our world's hunger for this actionable integrity has aided in his book sales. Likewise,this integrity has allowed Greg to penetrate into the most misunderstood religious Islamic cultures by the west.


3 Cups of Tea is a Must  Read!
 
The book won some big ole prizes.  The biggest literary wind bags said this book was awesome. It is awesome.   It's a Muslim version of Dances with Wolves. Hell you could even say it's another Avatar.  Basically, the white man, or "Sahib" in this case, wins over the indigenous people and saves the world.  In this sense, Greg Mortenson is a Kevin Costner, a paraplegic marine, and Mother Teresa all wrapped up into one.
  I mentioned this book to a friend of mine and described a bit of the story.  He was concerned that is sounded like Greg might have a god complex.  Maybe I just suck at explaining narrative or maybe Greg really does have a god complex.  If he does have a god complex but the book does a pretty good job of hiding it. That means I suck at narrative description.

If you want a book to lift your spirits and give hope to the human race, I highly recommend you read this book.
