Her soul-searching journey takes her deep into the wilderness: from meditating in an Ayurvedic ashram in southern India to toiling on a vineyard on Mount Etna to going on a solo-safari in southern Tanzania (where she also marries herself-yes, it's a thing).
This is a book to inspire readers who also want to discover their truest, wildest, most empowered selves. |

"Scripture reminds us of the secret we can't be told, the one we have to experience in order to know; that love cannot be found in any single sacred text or in any far off temple dripping in gold. The love we seek and eventually find is the love we start with, that's left unnoticed in our own heart. Man Fast is a must for any woman ready to find not just love but the source of love itself."
- Meggan Watterson, author of REVEAL & How To Love Yourself 
"Man Fast is a delight: honest and funny, truth-telling and wise."
- Elizabeth Flock author of The Heart is a Shifting Sea: Love and Marriage in Mumbai 
"Beautiful, honest, vulnerable, and compelling, Man Fast is a spiritual travel memoir for anyone who has chased after success and wondered if perhaps there was more to life and living."
- Lavanya Sankaran, bestselling author of The Red Carpet and The Hope Factory.

"A funny, courageous, and inspiring memoir about one woman’s journey into the unknown.”
- Elisabeth Eaves, author of Wanderlust: A Love Affair with Five Continents 
"Contemporary, lyrical, funny, inspirational, sometimes painful, and always intellectually rigorous.

Natasha lends a fresh voice to the inventory of emerging feminist authors.”
