The Why Cafe

Originally published under the title, The Why Are You Here Cafe. This book became a #1 best seller in 2009 under the title, The Why Cafe. It has been translated into 21 languages and has been called a "Jonathan Livingston Seagull for the 21st Century." The story shares the experience of a young man named John, who is struggling to find his place in life. After getting terribly lost while heading out on a driving trip, John finds himself at a tiny little cafe in a location so remote it sits in the middle, of the middle, of nowhere. Intent only on refueling, John ends up finding sustenance of an entirely different kind. In addition to the specials of the day, the menu lists three questions for diners to ponder. Why are you here? Do you fear death? Are you fulfilled. With the questions as food for thought, and the guidance of three people he meets in the cafe, John embarks on a journey of self-discovery that takes him from the executive suites of the advertising world, to the surf of Hawaii's coastline. Along the way he discovers a new way to look at life, himself, and just how much you can learn from a green sea turtle.
