THE AUTHOR
THE
BOOK
This book is a good insight into a hero’s journey, with some energy cookies and exotic flavors. I see this book as a beneficial reading for everyone interested to know what it would be like to become an occasional runner and change their life.
Although it is not said explicitly in the book, I consider that the degree of required planning and organizing for a race could easily qualify these marathons as ceremonies, or inner art sessions. I invite you to see Emilian’s journey notes through these ceremonial lenses, from time to time, while reading the book.
Enjoy the ride!

The way I see it from behind the scenes, “Door to Jungle, Door to Yourself” is more than a book. It is a project that can bring to the table more than just a beautiful story of personal growth, as well as a load of suggestions for improvement as a runner. It is an initiative that can help Emilian and his tribe support the rangers risking their lives and leaving their families behind to combat the African poaching crisis.
“Door to Jungle, Door to Yourself” is a story about how you can do literally everything and about paying it forward.
