Veteran journalist and author Perry Garfinkel sets out on a three-year quest to examine how Mahatma Gandhi's ideals have held up in a world beset with troubling trends. Committing to practice the Mahatma's six main principles - truth, nonviolence, vegetarianism, simplicity, faith, and celibacy - he seeks to better himself, facing successes and failures that at times lead to self-effacing humour. He traces Gandhi's footsteps from India to England to South Africa and even American communities where Gandhi's spirit endures.
