Low on petrol after taking a long detour on his road trip, John finds a small cafe, 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 cafe'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 CAFE offers readers much food-for-thought and a new and original way to see themselves and the world around them.
