This book is "balm for the soul".

The #1 international German bestseller now available for the first time as an English edition.

A story that touches the hearts of listeners: Embark on a quest to find yourself!

What is the meaning of life? What happened to your dreams? Do you always need a plan for life or does life have its own plan that you can follow? These are the questions Tom encounters on his journey into his inner self.

The sudden death of his father tears Tom out of life. In faraway Andalusia, fate leads him to Nepanthé, a mystical place free of worries.

There begins a series of mysterious dreams that show Tom the way to himself. Tom finds his childhood dreams and love. He learns about the happiness of the moment and understands why life doesn't need goals. But he also encounters dark thoughts, abysses, and even death on this journey.

Before the meaning of his existence is revealed to him, his path imposes tests that must be passed by every person who truly believes in his dreams and does everything to make them come true.
