Having it all, or at least a significant portion of all, can be a burden.
Commercial Airline Pilot Douglas Andrew Keehn discovers this after years of feeling a tug toward something else. What that something might be, he really doesn't know. Even though his life is filled with a nice home in a secure neighborhood, even though he lives his boyhood dream of flying large commercial jets, a restlessness draws his attention to a void in his life. The only solace comes out on the water when pods of dolphins surround his boat with their playful, joyful energy.
He begins to explore a continent that exerts a strange pull: South America. He requests flight assignments that will allow him to layover in countries like Brazil, Argentina and Peru. In each place, he notices a staggering difference between the everyday wealth Americans take for granted and the severe limitations of the Third World. Poverty, unemployment, inequality, and weak government support prevent people from getting ahead even if they want to.
Oddly, they don't seem to want to. This lack of drive is so unique that it stands out...especially because the laidback attitude is coupled always with a healthy approach to living. A focus on friends and friendship, conversations that range across a variety of political and social issues, and a focus on family values show Doug exactly what is missing in his life. The people he meets are the human incarnations of dolphins. They recognize what is truly valuable in life.
When economic difficulties prompt his airline to offer extended leaves of absence, Doug leaps at the chance. He heads south and lives for two years in Brazil. A small oceanfront lot becomes the landing pad where he builds his new home. The love and guidance of a local woman helps him parse the decades of his discontent and discover a new way to be. He learns to live a bit like a dolphin.
His return to the US shakes with culture shock. Everyone seems glued to their digital devices and obsessed with their schedules. Step-by-step and with the dolphins' assistance, Doug learns how to integrate the best of Latin living with his North American location. He has walked with the dolphins, and invites readers to do the same.
