书籍介绍

Low on petrol after taking a long detour on his road trip, John finds a small caf, the only establishment in a remote area that appears to be in the middle of nowhere. Despite his intention only to refuel and be on his way, he finds himself sitting at one of the caf's comfortable booths, facing a platter of food and three questions on the menu: Why Are You Here? Do You Fear Death? Are You Fulfilled? With these questions to ponder, and with the guidance of his waitress, Casey, the owner/cook, Mike, and fellow patron Anne, John embarks on a journey of self-discovery that takes him from the executive suites of the advertising world to the sandy beaches of tropical islands. A Jonathan Livingston Seagull for the 21st century, The Why Are You Here Caf offers readers much food-for-thought and a new and original way to see themselves and the world around them.

用户评论
Finally finished my book of the year. Why are you here? Do you fear death? Are you fulfilled? It may be a long way to think about it and figure out the answer.
又一本看了只是浪费时间的鸡汤书……书的内容其实很少,都靠空白页面注水,才勉强凑出一本书。这大概满足了老美们的偷懒阅读吧,不然实在找不到众人狂推怒赞的理由。PFE, purpose for existing. incoming waves, outgoing waves.
I wanna explore the world. I wanna live a life worth living.
读英文的时候,很难像读中文书一样快速接续断篇。之前看到一位大家学英文的方法就是多读几遍,看来,这本还得再回炉。
曾经在我想要离职的日子陪伴我的,简直就是专门为我写的。什么样的人生你喜欢,你选择,你想要,看看这个,你会平静。
This book gets us to think( or rethink) the three fundemental questions: 1. Why are you here? 2. Do you fear death? 3. Are you fulfilled? It prompts people to think how to live a fulfilled life that seves our true purpose, as oposed to "just living". It's an easy to read book. In the epilogue, John gives some practical suggestions which is useful.
