"The Café on the Edge of the World" is a worldwide bestseller designed to help people find a happy and fulfilling life and uses narrative fiction to tell the story and make the case.

The dialog takes place in a small café somewhere in the middle of nowhere. The man looking for answers is a stressed-out advertising manager named John, and a menu that comes with the following three questions: “Why are you here?” “Do you fear death?” “Are you fulfilled?”

A more interesting question might be why did this book become a bestseller? One reason might just be that many people question their lives and this seems to offer an easy answer.

Having just published Embrace Life’s Randomness Your Path To Personal Reinvention and Positive Change 2nd Edition I recognize that the three questions of Strelecky’s book are part of the free will vs’s determinism discussion in my own book.
