    At first glance I thought Kyle Wiens’ ideas were extreme and unfair but as I read through his reasoning I began to appreciate his reasoning, although I do not necessarily agree with it.

Although his journey concluded in death, Chris McCandless, through rejecting the norms of American society, succeeded in his version of a fulfilling life.
