### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Insightful account of a different kind of homelessness
*by D***L on September 7, 2022*

**Iyer, Pico. The Global Soul****(Vintage Departures)** . Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group. Kindle Edition.FIRST VINTAGE DEPARTURES EDITION, MARCH 2001Homelessness takes on a different meaning in Global Soul. Throughout his 2001 Novel, Pico describes the flux of his life journey, as having never felt rooted to a singular physical locale. In the first chapter, this sense of lack of belonging is further magnified by an event that causes him to lose his worldly possessions. The novel chronicles the author's experience of living amid multiple places at one time and the world globalization and evolving tech landscape that makes this possible. While fantastic and insightful, Pico 's description of his life embodies a feeling of loneliness within a crowd, and the possibility of homelessness within a family. Each chapter begins with a poignant quote setting one up for the experiences and meaning of the words that follow.I recommend this book to anyone who has traversed the world and knows the disorientation of space and time, as well as to those who may have never ventured beyond their own neighborhoods yet remain fixated on the question “Where is my home"? In his exploration of the topic, Pico shares an almost poetic outlook and experience that binds us Global Souls together in a place where heart and experience are the basis for home more than any locale or geographic landmark.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Are You a Global Soul Too?
*by D***L on October 13, 2009*

It turns out that there are two kinds of people--those who are global souls and those who aren't. In this book Iyer provides a useful definition of what a global soul is. Although he uses himself as a prototype (born in England to Indian parents, sent to boarding school in the US, current resident of Japan), throughout the book he provides lots of other examples. Global souls belong to lots of places at once--emotionally, physically, spiritually. They don't know how to answer the question, "Where are you from?" because the answer is anything but simple.Iyer's book was quite useful to me because I've always been a global soul at heart. I love to travel and experience new cultures, and I feel at home in lots of different places. A few of my friends understand this because they too love to travel, etc. But many other people I know have a hard time understanding why I can't unpack my bags and stay in one place. The book gave me some clues to my own vagabonding.Reading Iyer's book gave me insight into the dichotomy between these two diverse groups of people. The book inspires me to encourage others to explore their own inner "global soul"--there's no better way to create world harmony than by knowing more about the vast types of people who inhabit it.
