Wherever You Go, There You Are by Jon Kabat-Zinn is Vivien & Roger's all-time favorite Book. Vivien & Roger read this Book together in the summer of 1994, when they first formed their relationship. It is their favorite Book together and as individuals. This Book is kind of their Personal Operating Manual & Spiritual Compass to guide them to their True North.
