About the book:
Living in a world fraught with change and uncertainty, many people have understandable questions about the meaning of their lives. In Familiar Strangers, Gotham Chopra travels to many of the world's hot spots, from Pakistan, China, and Kashmir to Chechnya and the Yucatan in search of answers to these age-old spiritual questions. Everywhere he goes, he encounters people who have had to dig deep within themselves to survive horrible realities and bear heart wrenching losses. From a harrowing week spent among boys toting guns in Pakistan to a sojorn in a small Yucatan village where he witnesses firsthand the collision between the romance of the past and the uncertain promise of the future, Chopra shares the wisdom, idealism, and sense of purpose he found in ordinary people living under extraordinary circumstances.
