A modern quest for an ancient remedy.
If you enjoy a fast-paced, true story, Five Weeks in the Amazon is the book for you. It's an honest story filled with peaks of humor and valleys of despair. Author Sean Michael Hayes has written a book that many would put on their shelf next to Cheryl Strayed's blockbuster success, Wild. His adventure took him into the middle of the jungle alone, but Hayes' unique writing style makes the listener feel as though they are right there with him. Five Weeks in the Amazon is filled with Hayes' thoughtful solutions to many of the common problems we all share. Find out now if this Canadian backpacker uncovers the answers he searched for while living with a shaman in the Amazon jungle.

If you've ever had an interest in Ayahuasca...
...ok but even if you haven't had an interest in Ayahuasca this book is seriously worth a listen.
Narrator was awesome! It really felt like the experience was unfolding and I love how it is such an honest documentation of his experience. If you have any curiosity or are just interested in hearing about someone's healing journey, this is a great book to listen to!

Decent story horrible narration
First of all, the narration is very amateur. It sounds like it was done out if someone’s basement. There are many times he reads the same line 3 times. I can hear clicks after most sentences.
The story is ok. I think the author is too young to claim such deep knowledge. He is arrogant towards other travellers and judges them based on their clothes, pointing out how a group thought they were adventurers but they weren’t because they had people and donkeys carry their stuff up to Machu Picchu. But then later says how a local carried his bag up a drive way for him and he appreciated it because it was so hot.
His descriptions of his sexual desires for his girlfriend and pleasuring himself could have been left out, as well as spilling the details of his ex wife’s childhood.
There are much better travel and self discovery books out there.
