In 1993, a young American mountain climber named Greg Mortenson stumbled into a tiny village high in Pakistan's beautiful and desperately poor Karakoram Himalaya region. Sick, exhausted, and depressed after failing to scale the summit of K2, Mortenson regained his strength and his will to live thanks to the generosity of the people of the village of Korphe. Before he left, Mortenson made a vow that would profoundly change both the villagers' lives and his own-he would return and build them a school.

Three Cups of Tea is an incredible book. So much insight and very thought provoking, I suggest reading it if you have interst in global conciousness.

Greg Mortenson is a fuckin' saint, he's like St. Francis, walking among us mere mortals. I love his ideas about promoting peace -- making friends with people, working with them -- instead of killing them. He rocks the casbah, his book should be required reading everywhere. 3500 people in the area total went to at least one of his 3 events in the area. How cool is that?
