Description
The simple yet profoundly life changing story for anyone struggling to find their place in life. Gifted by millions to those they love.
In a small cafe at a location so remote it stands in the middle of the middle of nowhere, a visitor finds three unusual questions on the back of a menu.
Why are you here?
Do you fear death?
Are you fulfilled?
With this food for thought and the guidance of three people at the cafe, the visitor embarks on a journey of self-discovery. Along the way discovering a new way to look at life, himself and just how much you can learn from a green sea turtle.
