About this listen

The #1 Bestseller of the Year. Over 5 million copies sold!

A simple story, that’s profoundly life-changing.

Whether it’s a gift for your best friend, your adult son or daughter, or for yourself, The Cafe on the Edge of the World is an inspiring and hope giving listen for anyone seeking a more meaningful life.

Almost everyone, at some point, finds themselves wondering, “Is this all there is to life?” It can be a lonely time, because we think we’re the only one struggling with that thought.

But we’re not the only one. It’s just that it’s not talked about very much in everyday conversations.

So know that you’re not alone. Know that the answers you seek are within your grasp. And trust that you’ve arrived here, at exactly the right time, for exactly the right reasons.

This book is a story. It’s simply told, and the wisdom in it is for everyday people questioning the point of everyday life. It takes place in a small cafe which has three unusual questions on the back of the menu.

Why are you here?

Do you fear death?

Are you fulfilled?

With that food for thought and the guidance of three people at the cafe, the main character (and you) are taken on a journey of self-discovery. Along the way finding a new way to look at life, yourself, and just how much you can learn from a green sea turtle.

It’s a story which will leave you inspired and hopeful, re -energized about life, positively reflective, and filled with a sense of calm and clarity.

So if that sounds good to you, grab your copy, settle into a comfy spot, and enjoy your time at The Cafe on the Edge of the World.

Author John Strelecky is known for his ability to take complex topics like the meaning of life, and put them into easily digestible stories which entertain, inspire, and provide wisdom which can be easily applied. His works have been translated into more than 45 languages and had a profound impact in helping millions find purpose, meaning, and joy in their life. He writes in a relatable and conversational style that makes his books a quick, yet powerful and memorable read.

If, however, you’re an everyday person dealing with everyday struggles, and trying to make sense of life, this is a great book for you. You can fully expect that your time at the cafe will leave you:

• Inspired and hopeful

• Re-energized about life and motivated to take action

• Positively reflective
