It may seem like a spoiler to say from the start that Hoffman believes Michael Rockefeller, member of that grand family, was murdered and eaten. But that's really what is described in the first chapter, so it's not giving away the ending of the book. Instead, this book reads a lot like a Columbo episode. For those who don't know Columbo (consistently ranked as one of TVs greatest shows and detectives), those shows started off with the audience viewing the crime as it happened. Columbo shows up and has to piece together the evidence to solve the crime that we already know happened.
This book starts off revealing the "crime" in the same way, and spends the rest of the book trying to piece together the evidence for it. Briefly, Michael Rockefeller was touring remote islands as a young man, looking for rare pieces of art for his family's new art museum. He and another young friend go out in heavy oceans and their boat capsizes. Their two young native guides swim for help right away while Michael and his companion drift for several hours. Eventually, Michael decides to swim for it. He's never seen again. The official cause of death is drowning (with an off chance of being eaten by sharks).

Like no book out there, Overwhelmed gives us deep insight into the ways in which our lives have become so complicated in today's fast paced society. Heavily researched, the author also looks at workplace and family dynamics in other parts of the world, in contrast to our American practices. The book will make you think more deeply about the way you are spending the precious gift of time, especially if you are a parent. Additionally, people who are not caregivers will get a deeper understanding of the demands of balancing family needs with our careers. It'll make you think, laugh, reflect and hopefully move forward with more purpose in working through this one and only life. I loved it.
