“A fascinating story full of wise life lessons and a pleasure to read”, Paulo Coelho, author of De Alchemist

Have you succeeded in life if you own a Ferrari?

According to the top lawyer Julian Mantle you do. At the moment a heart attack costs him almost his life, Julian Mantle turns his life around completely. Julian asks himself what is the original reason for his existence. The top lawyer takes a radical decision to break with his old luxurious and busy being and goes on a quest to India to find his real self.

After wandering through the country, Julian lands in a village high in the Himalayas. His mystical wise residents have developed a system through which a person can improve the quality of his life. The system consists of a holistic set of principles and techniques. These techniques help to activate and develop the potential of the mind, the body and soul.

After some time spent among the sages of Sivana, the former top lawyer had mastered their living principles. At the end of his stay, Julian gets the instruction to go and spread their wisdom in his world.
