Thirty Percent Chance of Enlightenment ReviewThe nature of my work is such that I work in as many as 70 countries every year. I'm always interested in new places, but more than that I'm interested in the questions that new places cause me to ask that I have never asked before. Unfamiliar places cause curiosity, which far more fun than reaching answers. Tim Brookes' "Thirty Percent Chance of Enlightenment" is a voyage that caused me to ask the same kinds of intriguing questions as I was reading it that I normally ask when I'm on the road in an unfamiliar place. He approaches the seemingly mundane (weather, for example)from oblique perspectives that reveal sides of the ordinary that are nothing short of extraordinary.You will enjoy this book - I highly recommend it to anyone with even the mildest sense of curiosity about the world around us.Thirty Percent Chance of Enlightenment OverviewOften hilarious, ultimately profound, Thirty Percent Chance of Enlightenment begins when Tim Brookes receives a phone call from his editor at National Geographic asking if he'd like to write an article on weather forecasting-an assignment that doesn't go as forecast.He embarks on an adventure that starts in a hurricane on an icy mountaintop in New Hampshire and takes him to India to watch the monsoon come ashore and write about the elaborate, almost mystical art of monsoon forecasting. When the rain begins, however, a series of misunderstandings finds him banned from every single office of the India Meteorological Department.Before long, his journey turns into a cross-country road trip in search of the true meaning of the monsoon-a trip that takes him through the spice villages high in the Western Ghats, to a Hindu wedding at which all the main participants end up drenched, and leaves him ankle-deep in a holy river where the temple elephants bathe. He discovers the history of the umbrella, the bizarre ritual of rain-inducing donkey weddings, and for his erratic and dusty labors, he ends up being rewarded with a glimpse into the spiritual nature of water.Want to learn more information about Thirty Percent Chance of Enlightenment?
