Another Sort of Freedom is a funny, moving and honest memoir of a man's struggle to give purpose and meaning to life. Gurcharan Das was born in Lyallpur, Punjab, during World War II, when Hitler, Churchill and Hirohito were bashing everyone around. His mother noted in her diary, 'This is a restless baby.' By age two he had become 'a difficult child', and by three she was calling him a 'troublemaker'. He discovered one day that he could run, and he has been running ever since. The memoir is a revelation, filled with disarming introspection.
