Charles-
a CEO at the peak of his career, successful but unhappy, caught in his
hamster wheel-of- fortune Antonio- an entrepreneur constantly starting new
ventures, but unsure of his long-term future Toby- a tourist trying to escape
from a life that was not his own, and break his cycle of bad luck A chance
encounter between these three disparate characters and the Monk becomes the
turning point in their lives. They embark on a journey of self-reflection,
re-prioritise their lives, and take a different route to happiness, while
enjoying the pursuit of material success. But this story is just a parable
for what we can all achieve in our lives. Too many people today are
preoccupied with work, have little time for their family and friends, and
even less time for themselves. They tell themselves that they are doing this
so that they can reap the fruits of their labour, relax, and be happy in the
future. But, what if today was their future? When then will they be happy?
Author Alex Butt invites you to take a leaf from this book and ask yourself,
“Are you content and happy with your life?” Just like these three characters,
you too can apply the simple truths contained in this tale, redefine your own
path to contentment, and discover a balance between success and happiness. |
