THREE LIFE-CHANGING QUESTIONS

Review of The Why Are You Here Café

By Arlene Harder, MA, MFT

There is an old saying that a fanatic is one who, having lost sight of his goal, redoubles his effort. That can be applied these days not only to religious fanatics, but to many of us who get so caught up in the busy-ness of life that we forget why and how we started on our busy path in the first place.

The story in this short, easy-to-read book concerns a man who finds himself lost on his way to an appointment and ends up in a cafe at the crossroads in the middle of nowhere. Three people in the cafe help him ponder three questions:

Why are you here?

Do you fear death?

Are you fulfilled?

If you apply the principles of The Why Are You Here Caféto your life, you are likely to replace your frantic activities with a PFE, or Purpose for Existing.

It is not surprising that this book has been translated into more than a dozen languages. The metaphor of finding oneself in a crossroads in the middle of nowhere rings true with people throughout the world.
