This one is pretty clear from the title.  John is on vacation from his job that he doesn’t love.  He gets lost, is starving, and about to run out of gas when he finds a Café.  So he goes in and his life changes.

On the back of the menu are three questions:

Why are you here?

Do you fear death?

Are you fulfilled?

With the help of the staff and another patron, John starts to think about his life and starts working towards his own Purpose For Existing.  It’s about how so much of what we do is what we’re told to do or what we think we’re supposed to be doing.  And how maybe we need something different from what society tells us we do.  It was a super fast and sweet read and is definitely food for thought.

Stand of postcards glued together would give me more inspiration than this condescending pseudo-philosophical sludge
