Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson takes readers on a remarkable journey to another world, as he and his family “slip into” the paradise that is New Zealand. For anyone who has ever dreamed of finding utopia, Masson reveals a country where neighbors talk to one another and provide a sense of real community, people rarely lock their doors, and politics are as mellow as the weather. New Zealand is also a land of spectacular beauty where mangroves, banana plants, papaya trees, and more than ten thousand species of ferns grow wild and free. Children can walk to school barefoot without a care – there are no creatures that sting or bite. And in the blue waters near the lush coastline, dolphins and orcas abound.

Featuring a glossary of words and phrases used by New Zealanders, as well as the author's recommended travel itinerary, Slipping into Paradise reveals Masson's love affair with New Zealand and his affinity for its citizens. He reflects on the meaning of home, the importance of acting on intuition, and what happens when we lose our connection to the place we live in. By responding to an impulse, Masson moved from California to New Zealand and realized a dream.
