BOWING TO ELEPHANTS
Tales of A Travel Junkie
by Mag Dimond
In the tradition of the greatest memoirists, BOWING TO ELEPHANTS offers an epic, global, and delicious adventure that has been compared to Elizabeth Gilbert’s EAT, PRAY, LOVE.
And now Kirkus Reviews has added to the accolades by naming it one of its Best Indie Biographies & Memoirs of 2019!
Her first book (in her 70s) and a #1 international bestseller, BOWING TO ELEPHANTS offers timely, relevant, newsworthy wisdom on topics from alcoholism, music, and Buddhism… to death, depression, and family… to food, forgiveness, and connection… to meditation, spirituality, and (ultimately) living a conscious life.
Whether on the road or in the comfort of home, readers will be delighted by Mag Dimond's new book, BOWING TO ELEPHANTS, TALES OF A TRAVEL JUNKIE.
