About this listen

Seasons of Suffering/Seasons of Joy is a reflective road-memoir about a young man who pedals alone from Louisiana to Missouri, using the miles as a “meditative cocoon” to wrestle with meaning, mortality, and faith.

The journey “begins in New England,” then unfolds across eight vividly told days on the bike and a series of thematic chapters, Worldview, Death, Life, Sexuality/Gender Identity, Suffering, and more, blending travelogue with honest spiritual inquiry.

The book invites listeners to “embrace your suffering and look for the joy in unexpected packages,” and circles back to a life still in motion: riding, practicing medicine, and searching out “signposts of joy.”
