About this listen
From the bestselling author of Jurassic Park, Timeline, and Sphere, comes a deeply personal memoir full of fascinating adventures as he travels everywhere from the Mayan pyramids to Kilimanjaro.
Fueled by a powerful curiosity - and by a need to see, feel, and hear, firsthand and close-up - Michael Crichton's journeys have carried him into worlds diverse and compelling - swimming with mud sharks in Tahiti, tracking wild animals through the jungle of Rwanda. This is a record of those travels - an exhilarating quest across the familiar and exotic frontiers of the outer world, a determined odyssey into the unfathomable, spiritual depths of the inner world. It is an adventure of risk and rejuvenation, terror and wonder, as exciting as Michael Crichton's many masterful and widely heralded works of fiction.
For Michael Crichton, being a Harvard-trained physician, the author of two bestsellers, and a movie director is not enough. It is, he resolves, time to travel. From swimming with sharks in Tahiti to psychic experiences in the American desert, Crichton records his exhilarating quest through the familiar and exotic frontiers of the outer world.

Interesting journey
It was a good journey of an intelligent and curious man, who debunked a lot of western perceptions he and many of us grew up with. Being one from the east but brought up with western education, some of it was quite relatable. The travels to different continents was fun, although I thought the adventures itself felt little touristy. And the bizareness and my own limited or zero experience of psychic inner travel, made it bit of a struggle to finish the last chapters. But, I thought the lecture he never gave at Pasadena was spot on - how the rational human perceptions of the world are so limited and only a lack of imagination or humility or insecurity will lead people to scoff at many theories and fields across the world.

Not a popular title and I can see why
It’s not just his travels, but he talks about moments from his medical life, travelling adventures and also a big part from his spiritual experiences and discoveries.
I enjoyed listening to his experiences from med school, and hearing about the adventures was quite thrilling. The way he has wrote these stories is also very engaging, exciting and leaves you with an afterthought sometimes.
However the spiritual journeys part was where I lost interest. For some reason, I didn’t relate and didn’t find it worth listening.
Still I’m glad to be introduced to some of these thoughts pocketed under the title of Travels, which I may not have otherwise voluntarily picked up if they were named literally.

Only for diehard fans
Definitely not as good as his fictional best sellers. Can safely give this a miss.
