A playful and informative story about wild animals and about the love between a child and a grandparent.

In a small diner at a location so remote that it stands in the middle of the middle of nowhere, John-a man in a hurry-is at a literal and figurative crossroads. Intent only on refueling before moving along on his road trip, John finds sustenance of an entirely different kind: in addition to the specials of the day, the menu lists three questions that all diners are encouraged to consider: Why are you here? Do you fear death? Are you fulfilled? With the guidance of three people he meets at the cafe, John embarks on a quest for answers that metaphorically 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 his life and relationships... and just how much you can learn from a green sea turtle. The Why Cafe will get readers young and free and older and entrenched to rethink their personal yardstick for success. Charming, simple, and inspiring, it will change lives.

Have you reached that point in your job where you’re thinking ‘enough is enough’?
In this book, Christian Rodwell, the Founder of Escape The Rat Race, shows that there is a proven process anyone who is currently employed but looking to start their own business can follow: ‘The choices for someone wishing to exit a corporate 9-5 job and start a new business are numerous and this can easily lead to overwhelm, confusion….and over-analysing the options for so long that you end up taking no action at all. Finding enough time to fit your new business around your full time job and family commitments will also be a challenge, which is why I've dedicated an entire chapter to show you ways to overcome this.' Not everyone who wishes to quit the rat race and start a business knows exactly what business would be best suited to them initially. This book will help you to get to know yourself better, identifying your motives for wanting to sack your boss and answering the question, ‘what would I would love to do each day if money were no object?’. Christian Rodwell has been through all of these challenges himself, and has worked with over 1000 other ‘#escapees’ who are on the same journey. Christian illustrates within this book his process for helping such individuals map out their very own ‘9-5 escape plan’ - ‘The Five Step Freedom Formula™’. 'I’ll guide you through the steps you need to take before you identify what your winning strategy is for starting a business you love. At the end of this book, you’ll have all of the answers ready to complete your very own 90 Day Escape Plan, a specific and personalised personal development plan which I have put together for you.'
