Product Description
by Ryan Case (Author)
Part Indiana Jones, part Chicken Soup for the Soul, Wild Happy captures the adventures of a young aspiring scientist who left behind his superficial suburban existence in search of a world as different as he could find. He wasn't sure what he was after, but it found him anyway.
At twenty-four, Ryan Casseau, set off alone to an island at the far edge of the world to live and study among some of the world's most remote people to learn of the plants they used as medicines. His journey led him to the indigenous villages of Papua New Guinea, a land known for their history of brutality and cannibalism.
But while he stressed about getting work done and returning to civilization, something magical and unexpected got in the way: Everything.
In equal parts humorous, unnerving, uplifting, and reflective, Wild Happy fiercely captures a bewildered boy and the lost world that took him in, shared its hidden wisdom, and changed his life forever.
