Pursuing our passion is a kind of ideal that we only dream of, but we make little of. This novel on this theme is inspired by a true story. It encourages reflection and provides inspiration and even a guide to revive your existence. We follow Jack Lesco, a manager who faces an ethical dilemma and must choose between what is right or his loyalty to his boss. During this dilemma, he receives cryptic messages from a mentor who teaches him about the essence of selfishness and coexistence. Now the ball is in his camp, and he has to decide what to do. These tensions lead to a health crisis. Jack takes a step back from the hustle and bustle of life and searches for what's really important. He sets out on a journey to Santiago de Compostella and meets a monk who teaches him how to discover what his soul mostly longs for. With this wisdom, Jack takes back his life as the universe opens up to him. These experiences help him find out the four foundations that people need to live a great life. The story is analogous to works such as "Eat, Pray, Love" and provides support for those who hear the call of their soul but are still caught in the daily grind. The real story prompts the reader to replace routine and pressure with contemplation, self-discovery, and development.
