by Gordon J. Bernhardt

Overview
Lots of people take a walk to clear their heads, but have you ever walked over six hundred miles to do it? On a misty, gray morning in the summer of 2018, Gordon Bernhardt set out from a small town in the French Pyrenees to walk the ancient pilgrim route of Camino de Santiago, seeking clarity for his business, his relationships, and his priorities in life. The lessons he learned as a peregrino—a pilgrim—ranged from insights on financial advising and investing to the importance of noticing the tiniest details of each day: like the ant trails winding across the path at his feet or the "smiling sunflower" that lightened his steps in the middle of a hot summer day. An investing book like no other, Buen Camino: What a Hike through Spain Taught Me about Investing and Life will remind you that although we're all walking a different path, we're all headed for a common destination.
