My Path to Truth. 2005-2015 Diaries of a Lonely Traveler

World-famous Russian traveler Fyodor Konyukhov spends most of his life in the oceans, on expeditions to the poles and the highest peaks. This book is about how important it is sometimes for each of us to remain alone in order to understand ourselves and become stronger, and also about why the construction of a temple begins with one's own soul. How does Fyodor Konyukhov see the modern world? What is the value for a person of time spent alone with oneself? What future does the author dream of for himself and his loved ones? What prayers does he address to God? Left alone with his thoughts, feelings, dreams, and prayers, the traveler, priest, and artist gets the chance to look into the deepest depths of his soul. He shares his unique experiences of overcoming difficulties, doubts, and mistakes. "Loneliness cleanses the soul, washing away the tension and frenzy of ordinary life on land," the author believes.
