Product Description
Three years ago, award-winning actress Angelina Jolie took on a radically different role as a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Here are her memoirs from her journeys to Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Pakistan, Cambodia, and Ecuador, where she lived and worked and gave her heart to those who suffer the world's most shattering violence and victimization. Here are her revelations of joy and warmth amid utter destitution?compelling snapshots of courageous and inspiring people for whom survival is their daily work?and candid notes from a unique pilgrimage that completely changed the actress's worldview -- and the world within herself.

 Good cause but... February 5, 2010

I support her cause but as a read, the book is far from being a great work.
AN AMAZING READ... September 7, 2009

Everyone should read this book. It promotes understanding, empathy, humbleness...I did not feel preached to just present as if I was right next to Jolie and sharing in the experience(s). This is a book every High Schooler and Adult in the US should read, I hope she keeps sharing her diaries!
 Inspiring, but not a literary great.... August 3, 2009

Angelina Jolie's Notes from My Travels, was very inspiring. I now feel so much like I need to make more of a difference in the world. I admire Ms. Jolie for her bravery and stepping outside of her comfort zone and journeying to these countries to find out what she can do to make the world a better place. The book is written very factually and is not entertaining, though I don't think it was meant to be. I think it was written to inspire others to explore what we can do to improve the world and that is what it did to me...

Raw, sincere, honest, deep from her heart, this book reveals that Angelina is truly a unique human being amidst the superficial world of Hollywood. This book was written to raise awareness of the plight of refugees in conflict-torn countries - it is not Angelina's propaganda to enhance her career. In fact, it exposes her vulnerable side beneath her strong facade. It's simply a journal of her heartfelt experiences while on her UNHCR - sometimes dangerous - missions. This book reminds us -fortunate ones, that we should count our blessings and share those with people who are not as fortunate as us. In her travels, Angelina also marvels at & highlights how the human spirit perseveres in times of difficulties and distress. A shallow & insensitive celebrity would have missed this human characteristic.
My admiration for Angelina has gone beyond her talents as an actress; she is truly inspirational in her real but 'quiet' humanitarian endeavors. There's nothing Hollywood about that. Isn't it strange that no paparazzi cover her UNHCR missions?
I bought 2 copies of this book - one for my elder sister who simply adores Angelina & one for my teen-age daughter, also an Angelina Jolie admirer & whose heart is also into (school) charity programs. I am hoping that Angelina's story will strengthen my daughter's passion in helping people in need - especially poor & sick children.
I hope Angelina writes another book on her recent UNHCR missions.
In hindsight : because of its message, make this a 5 star! :)

This is a very moving book. It gives us a glimpse into the suffering around the world and motivation to help.
