Review title: A lesson in character
Product review: This book is a recounting of an outsider that assimilates into a culture in which he does not, at first glance, fit by building relationships with people based upon trust, honesty and truthfulness. The people of Pakistan see him as a leader not because he is charismatic or an efficient planner. While he has those traits as well, the relationship Mr. Mortenson builds with the people of Pakistan is more so built up because the people can see that he exemplifies a man of integrity and an open character. The book sharply contrasts this to various unsavory characters that Mr. Mortenson meets a long the way.I am inspired by the type of person Mr. Mortenson is as much as by what he has accomplished. Men accomplish great things all of the time, but those that one remembers must have both accomplishment and character.This book is eloquent and beautifully told. I strongly suggest that others find the time to read it. Maybe we will all learn to slow down... one second at a time.
