How I Met Myself: An Odyssey in Modern Adulting

How I Met Myself: An Odyssey in Modern Adulting
An ambitious, sometimes inquisitive, sometimes hilarious journey into the mind and world of the male Millennial on his Peter Pan Syndrome-curing Eat, Pray, Love experience. What the critics are saying: "I love it, but did you have to swear so much?" - Mom"Really cool. Also you got a notice in the mail today, did you pay your loan bill this month?" - Dad"Please stop emailing us.

Through early challenges not uncommon from those faced by this generation in any location, the filtered fa ade that Restivo constructed for himself is exposed and he decides to open up and write about his travel experience. The act of writing, and the resultant need to pay attention to the world and question himself and the Millennial condition, sets the course for an internal journey that parallels the external travel.Through an episodic and creative structure and writing style, Restivo uses his unique opportunity and story setting to tell a tale that is at the same time incredibly personal and wholly relatable to a broader generational audience.
