A CEO, an Entrepreneur, a Tourist, and the Monk: Finding the balance between success and happiness

Charles

a CEO at the peak of his career, successful but unhappy, caught in his hamster wheel-of- fortune

Antonio

an entrepreneur constantly starting new ventures, but unsure of his long-term future

Toby

a tourist trying to escape from a life that was not his own, and break his cycle of bad luck

A chance encounter between these three disparate characters and the Monk becomes the turning point in their lives. They embark on a journey of self-reflection, re-prioritise their lives, and take a differentroute to happiness, while enjoying the pursuit of material success.

But this story is just a parable for what we can all achieve in our lives.

Too many people today are preoccupied with work, have little time for their family and friends, and even less time for themselves. They tell themselves that they are doing this so that they can reap the fruits of their labour, relax, and be happy in the future. But, what if today was their future? When then will they be happy?

Author Alex Butt invites you to take a leaf from this book and ask yourself, “Are you content and happy with your life?” Just like these three characters, you too can apply the simple truths contained in this tale, redefine your own path to contentment, and discover a balance between success and happiness.
