His story inspired me to trek across the alps for 2 weeks alone, which I have returned from only today. I'll be travelling to Scotland in a week to live rough in the mountains for a month. I can't tell you how much Jon has helped me discover a new direction and freedom in my life.

In a way, I'm jealous of this guy. I think there's a part in everybody that wishes they could just take off, leave it all behind. That's why his story is so captivating for so many people. We're all just a little bit jealous..

@martian59 I'm so sorry, but it was not complete stupidity. He may had a little bit in him but he inspired us all to realize that God gave us so much blessings in life, and it's not just materialistic things, but nature. He got a sense of courage to go out of his easy lifestyle and comfort zone to seek out truth. It's not something any of us would do nowadays. We rely on technology, and advanced lifestyle's which actually corrupts our lives. He's definitely someone to look up too.

Why do people popularize, idolize or otherwise give any recognition to a person who acted with complete stupidity?

Krakauer is not a novelist. Into the Wild is not a novel. A novel is fiction.
