Throughout this book Bryson has changed a lot. He has learned many things and I think he is a changed man. One thing he has seems to lost sight of was time. He is always is asking the people that they run into hiking what time it is. He just doesn't have a need to know what time it is.
In chapter 12 for example they run into John Connolly and ask him what day it is. On the AT you don’t need to know what day or time it is you just need to make it to the next camp site so you can sleep and get up and hike again the next morning. You have one mission and that is to get to where you are going to stop so you can go back home and start a normal life again. So Bryson has no need for time so I think that he has learned that even in this world of hurry, you can get away from it all by just slowing down and not letting time dictate your life.
