retrofitted Ganesha in to the Mahabharata and the inspiration Hindu propaganda experts took from nature. Nigel Barley (anthropologist), former curator for Southeast Asia at the British Museum, said “Sochaczewski wears his considerable scholarship lightly – as any good guide should – and leads us confidently down many side-alleys of culture and experience. Light and funny, it still touches bedrock at multiple points – a delightful book. During the first week of sales the book became a number one bestseller in three categories of Amazon Kindle books – Biographies in Hinduism, Asian Travel Photography, and Private Museums and Collections. BookLife Prize judges rated the book 9.5 out of 10, noting it is: “Filled with countless gorgeous photos and interesting stories regarding Sochaczewski’s travels, Searching for Ganesha is a charming, unusual, read. A wonderful writer, his voice cuts through his prose in the best way, and one can imagine he would be delightful to listen to over a glass of wine. Takes what could be a dusty topic and makes it humorous and even enchanting. Even readers who are unfamiliar with Ganesha will find the author’s enthusiasm to be contagious.” EarthLove: Chronicles of the Rainforest War. A satiric Borneo eco-adventure that chronicles the fight to save the rainforest, its people, and orangutans from oil palm devastation.” James. C. Clad, former U.S. deputy assistant secretary of defense for Asia said EarthLove offers “a take-no prisoners antidote to dithering diplomats, impenetrable scientific studies, and finger-wagging scoldings. Merciless, hilarious, and thought-provoking.” Dead, But Still Kicking. Sochaczewski travels to Indonesia, Myanmar, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland to meet mediums and shamans in an attempt to speak with spirits of dead folks. Contacted via a medium, Arthur Conan Doyle said: “Enlightening. A noble companion volume to my own books on spiritualism.” Exceptional Encounters: Enhanced Reality Tales from Southeast Asia. Simon Lyster, chairman of the World Land Trust said: “Once again, Sochaczewski has pushed the frontier of travel literature in an exciting new direction.” Benedict Allen, BBC presenter and author of Into the Crocodile’s Nest; Journey Inside New Guinea, said: “This is Sochaczewski at his very best – sharp, witty, energetic, and unafraid to be irreverent. Reminds me of the satire of Tom Wolfe combined with the insightful travel memoirs of Bill Bryson and Mark Twain.” Share Your Journey - Mastering Personal Writing.
