Synopsis

An exhilarating memoir about one woman’s globe-trotting journey of inspiring awakening and self-discovery.Shaken by the loss of her father, drained by her job at the United Nations, and conflicted over failed relationships, Natasha Scripture asked herself the question at the heart of her anxiety: What is my purpose? The answer was not about finding love; it was about recognizing its source. The result is Man Fast, a true and intimate spiritual detective story.With courage, honesty, and wit, Natasha shares the story of her awakening. Starting with the decision to fast from dating, she embarks on a journey that takes her from New York to an ashram in southern India to toiling in a vineyard on Mount Etna to a solo safari in southern Tanzania. In stepping away from the modern demand to couple up, Natasha finally finds a reflective space where she can be fully aware: of her grief, of her identity, and of love as a mystical, ever-present force.An antidote to a culture that prizes finding the right man, Man Fast is an emotionally charged journey that leaves us with a greater understanding of ourselves and the world around us.Revised edition: This edition of Man Fast includes editorial revisions.

Goodreads review by Richard on May 30, 2019

I read this book rather quickly, partly because it's a breezy read and partly because I was so incredibly anxious to get it finished. I understand that from the author's experience this was a personally rewarding and likely very vulnerable exercise in self-revelation. I get that. I appreciate that.......more

Goodreads review by Homira on June 20, 2019

Meh. Kind of sad and self-indulgent. I thought I could relate to it a lot as I'm single (and don't want to be) and work in the same field (but not in communications!! I did actual project work, but in war and disaster zones), but I couldn't connect to her character and did not find anything compelli......more

Spiritual Sabbatical I am fascinated by many of the same teachings, scriptures, and ideas that float to surface of the narrative of this spiritual memoir. It was a captivating journey, full of twists and turns. I long to go on safari like she did, before it is too late to experience that wildness. Th......more

An Inspiring Memoir I really enjoyed what Natasha had to share in this book. It shared a lot of practical advice and wisdom that can benefit anyone looking to improve themselves and find deeper meaning in their lives. This book was a bit like Eat, Pray, Love, and was a little disorganized at times. O......more

Goodreads review by Susan on July 29, 2019

Living as a Baobab tree in life I liked the book. She writes quite well, and her quotes from various authors, writers, or people from the spiritual realm were very lovely and insightful. They added more depth to the book. With the death of her Father, she started to feel unmoored, and wanted to trave......more
