To Shake the Sleeping Self: A Journey from Oregon to Patagonia, and a Quest for a Life with No Regret

NEW YORK TIMESÂ BESTSELLER â€¢Â â€œWith winning candor, Jedidiah Jenkins takes us with him as he bicycles across two continents and delves deeply into his own beautiful heart.â€â€”Cheryl Strayed, author ofÂ WildÂ andÂ Tiny Beautiful Things
Â
On the eve of turning thirty, terrified of being funneled into a life he didnâ€™t choose, Jedidiah Jenkins quit his dream job and spent sixteen months cycling from Oregon to Patagonia. He chronicled the trip on Instagram, where his photos and reflections drew hundreds of thousands of followers, all gathered around the question: What makes a life worth living?Â

In this unflinchingly honest memoir, Jed narrates his adventureâ€”the people and places he encountered on his way to the bottom of the worldâ€”as well as the internal journey that started it all. As he traverses cities, mountains, and inner boundaries, Jenkins grapples with the question of what it means to be an adult, his struggle to reconcile his sexual identity with his conservative Christian upbringing, and his belief in travel as a way to wake us up to life back home.

A soul-stirring read for the wanderer in each of us,Â To Shake the Sleeping SelfÂ is an unforgettable reflection on adventure, identity, and a life lived without regret.
