Most people don’t need another vacation. They need their world to feel large again. The World Was Meant to Be Lived In is not a travel guide. It is a science-backed, story-driven exploration of why travel changes the human mind, how it restores perspective, and how to design journeys that leave a permanent imprint.

It’s about entering it more fully. If you’ve ever returned from a trip feeling clearer, calmer, and more alive — this book explains why. And shows you how to do it again.
