Advertising manager John, on his way to a holiday where he wants to escape the frustration of work, bills and to some extent life in general, finds himself in a small cafe in the middle of nowhere - he wants to relax and have something to eat in peace. On the back of the menu, however, he is struck by three unusual questions:

•Why are you here?
•Are you afraid of death?
•Do you feel fulfilled?

The trip to the longed-for vacation thus becomes an excursion into one's own interior and the search for a way out of the cycle of life and the feeling of losing control over one's destiny. A simple story that can change the life of anyone who tries to find their place in it.

The main message of this small book is how to step on the path to a fulfilling life. One should not dream about what one will do in retirement when one has time to enjoy everything. Life is not to be postponed, but to be lived. Although we believe that we already know everything about the meaning of our existence, we have never really thought deeply about it. The stories about the giant cart or the fisherman are simple, but filled with basic wisdom about the senseless exploitation of us humans.
