Passerby: Quotes for the Traveler Through Life Paperback – Large Print, July 12, 2020

Israeli author Gilad Segev is a musician/singer/songwriter who is using his gifts as an artist to travel the globe searching for inner truth, lifting spirits wherever he touches down, and incorporating the culture and thoughts and muses as a ‘Passerby.’As the beautifully phrased opening remarks share, ‘Passerby is a traveling artist who tells the story of his encounters with people form different cultures through music. His songs are the result of his meaningful interactions with others and are shaped by the lifestyle, authenticity, and dominant traits of the many places he journeys to. As a descendant of immigrants he is on an eternal quest to search for his identity. That is why no matter where he goes, he strives to become enriched form the core identity of his never-ending destination. He also aims to create a new and ancient sense of belonging in our multicultural immigrant world. Passerby is continuously spreading his message of being able to belong everywhere by not belonging anywhere. He believes that by becoming no one, he can encompass everyone. With his guitar as his single companion, he loses himself in the farthest of places, only to find himself closer to discovering hi sown personal truth. His music is his own pathway home, but it also gives others the key to find theirs as well.’What follows is a luminous collection of richly colorful photographs of nature and of the Passerby experiencing new sights and insights with sensitive and thoughtful quotations that enhance the experience. Accompanying the visual experience is the hauntingly beautiful music of this gifted singer and musician.In a time when the world is united by the terrors of the pandemic and racial unrest, Gilad takes us on a spiritual journey with words, images, and music that offers a much needed sense of harmony. Absorb his message! Recommended. Grady Harp, July 20

Human nature isn't likely to change any time soon. With an ever-expanding menu of shiny objects to distract us and a 24-hour day that stubbornly refuses to grow any longer, the average human attention span continues to dwindle into the microsecond-scale. It’s no wonder that literary inspiration has such a short shelf life!Passerby: Quotes for the Traveler Through Life by Gilad Segev is a double treat in that the book not only contains beautiful and inspiring picture quotes, it also comes with a free downloadable selection of music. The songs were meditative and peaceful and worked well in conjunction with the book. ‘Coming back to you’ and ‘Me – Passerby’ (with Elisse Samuel) were two of my favorite songs. The artist has one of the most beautiful voices I’ve heard in years.A very enjoyable indulgence that comes highly recommended and gets a well-deserved five stars from me.

The design of this book is amazing! I took it because I like to read about how to make yourself a better person, but I didn't expect that this book is composed in a way that offers you educational and motivational content packed in an amazing aesthetic pleasure made by photographs which are used as a background for text.This is definitely one of those books that I will reread again and again, meditating not only on words and their meaning but also on beautiful and calming photos.Strongly recommend to all those who want to learn more about themselves and to enjoy an interestingly designed book which talks with its textual and visual content equally.

While going hiking this summer I got this book for my kindle, since I thought that it could be a nice read to have while surrounded by a beautiful landscape. It actually ended up being the component that made my trip. When I would take a break from walking or when we would make up camp for the night, I would sit down and read a few pages, and it would bring me such a peaceful feeling. I am not a very spiritual person, but the text and pictures just made me feel so calm and thoughtful. I also listened to the soundtrack, and it really added to the experience. Highly recommend.

This book is a nice collection of motivational quotes, perfect for flipping to a random page every day to get your dose of morning inspiration. It also makes an excellent coffee table book or gift for grads. The only complaint I have is in regards to the eBook version, and that is that it won't open in the Kindle cloud reader on PC.

This is a free book and has beautiful quotes and pictures. A little book of life thoughts anyone can enjoy.

This book is a collection of great shots in the most amazing places I've ever seen.Each picture has a thought, and each thought feels like the beginning of a new story.Every time I read it, I stop on a different quote and let it sink in. it's a great reminder of who we are and what we are doing in this world.

A friend recommended this ebook and I’m happy she did. I don’t know which quote is my favorite I think it depends on the day or the moment. Some of them were so on the spot that brought tears to my eyes.This is a book to read over and over again you will enjoy it.

Beautiful words, charming wisdom and stunning photographs, this book has it all. It is so easy to dip in and out of, whether you are looking for some inspiration or just a window into other worlds. As a keen traveller, this book was perfect for me, and the musical aspect added a whole other dimension! I truly love this, and wish more books used visuals like this, it adds so much!
