#StoryGraph: fiction contemporary reflective slow-paced
105 pages | first published 2020

The five time bestseller of the year that has transformed the lives of millions around the world. Over 4 million copies sold.

In a small cafe at a location so remote it stands in the middle of the middle of nowhere, John--a man in a hurry--is at a crossroads. Intent only on refueling before moving along on his road trip, he finds sustenance of an entirely different kind. In addition to the specials of the day, the cafe menu lists three questions all diners are encouraged to consider:

Why are you here?

Do you fear death?

Are you fulfilled?

With this food for thought and the guidance of three people he meets at the cafe, John embarks on a journey of self-discovery. 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.

"He (Strelecky) has put his finger on the pulse of the world." - Gannett Media
"A cosmic guidebook for living." - Orlando Sentinel

ziemlich "on the nose" und nur so strotzdemd vor Privilegiertheit.
Klar, man kann auch neben Arbeit und Geld versuchen, etwas zu tun, was einen erfüllt, aber in unserer Kapitalistischen Gesellschaft ist das in dem Ausmaß, wie der Autor das vorschlägt, nicht wirklich möglich.

I found this gem in the fiction section of the library and, wow! This book is anything but a lighthearted book about a cafe in the middle of nowhere. I was completely transformed while reading the wisdom of Mike, Casey, and Anne. I can certainly see why more than 4 million copies have been sold.

Protagonist John works as an advertising manager and is always in a hurry. When he enters a small café in the middle of nowhere, he does not yet know that this day will change his life. Because when he opens the menu, he finds not only the menu, but three exciting questions:

Why are you here?
Are you afraid of death?
Are you living a full life?

John becomes curious and begins to uncover the mystery behind the questions. In conversations with the cook, the waitress and a guest, he realizes that this café visit is anything but ordinary. And so it comes to pass that John finds the meaning of life discussed.

يعمل بطل الرواية جون كمدير إعلانات وهو دائمًا في عجلة من أمره. عندما يدخل مقهى صغير في مكان مجهول ، لا يعرف أن هذا اليوم سيغير حياته. لأنه عندما يفتح القائمة ، لم يجد القائمة فحسب ، بل وجد ثلاثة أسئلة مثيرة

لماذا أنت هنا؟
هل أنت خائف من الموت؟
هل تعيش حياة كاملة؟

يصبح جون فضوليًا ويبدأ في اكتشاف الغموض وراء الأسئلة. في محادثاته مع الطاهي والنادلة والضيف ، أدرك أن زيارة المقهى هذه ليست عادية. وهكذا يجد جون نفسه في مناقشة حول معنى الحياة
