“Lost on Purpose” is the true story of former tech exec Patrick Taylor reinventing himself as a modern-day mountain man. Tired of a life that wasn't working anymore, he chose adventure as a gateway to a new way of living. In winter conditions, he walked across the Rockies alone to retrace the wilderness trail of Lewis & Clark. This inspiring memoir is for everyone that ever felt like writing a new chapter in their lives.

This book (with a link to maps & pictures) was taken from journals written during the 7-week trek. It has been a Kindle #1 Bestseller in four Amazon categories: Adventure Travel, Solo Travel, Mountaineering, & Extreme Sports. Taylor’s adventures are characterized by their authenticity & daring — living alone in the Frank Church Wilderness during winter, working as a backcountry packer, & engaging with nature in ways that reject the polished veneer of scripted 'reality' entertainment. The memoirs that comprise his 'Real-life Adventures of the Texas Yeti' series have collectively earned 11 Kindle #1 Bestseller spots across six Amazon categories. Each narrative draws from his personal journals, offering readers a raw, introspective look at his experiences & the lessons they’ve taught him about life, purpose, & resilience.
