To Shake the Sleeping Self

Jedidiah Jenkins

'Liberating and life affirming' Fearne Cotton

'A thrilling, tender, utterly absorbing book. It's an unforgettable debut' Cheryl Strayed

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

On the eve of turning thirty, terrified of being funnelled into a life he didn't choose, Jedidiah Jenkins quit his dream job and spent sixteen months cycling from Oregon to Patagonia. He chronicled the trip online, where his photos and reflections drew hundreds of thousands of followers, all gathered around the question: What makes a life worth living?
