A fable that will inspire readers to think about their "personal reason for being" and that demonstrates allegorically a powerful way to approach life

In a small diner at a location so remote that it stands in the middle of the middle of nowhere, John-a man in a hurry-is at a literal and figurative crossroads. Intent only on refueling before moving along on his road trip, John finds sustenance of an entirely different kind: in addition to the specials of the day, the menu lists three questions that all diners are encouraged to consider:

Why are you here?

Do you fear death?

Are you fulfilled?

With the guidance of three people he meets at the cafŽ, John embarks on a quest for answers that metaphorically takes him from the executive suites of the advertising world to the surf of Hawaii's coastline. Along the way, he discovers a new way to look at his life and relationships... and just how much you can learn from a green sea turtle. The Why Cafe will get readers young and free and older and entrenched to rethink their personal yardstick for success. Charming, simple, and inspiring, it will change lives.

約翰·史崔勒基

John Strelecky

（1969- ）

他和書裏那個“約翰”一樣，曾經非常迷茫。

他本來擁有 MBA 學位，在企業工作多年。32歲那年，他突然和妻子背起背包，踏上環球之旅，花瞭9個月時間走過7萬裏路程。

返迴美國後，他把自己的經曆和感悟寫成《世界盡頭的咖啡館》，本來是自費齣版，沒想到一年之內就變成暢銷書，被翻譯成瞭 39種語言。

他是旁人眼中的“瘋子”，不顧一切走上旅行和寫作這條路，希望能通過這本書，成為更多讀者人生旅途中的夥伴。

萬潔

隱居傢中，遠離塵囂。據說開始翻譯這本書以後，卸載瞭“吃雞”遊戲。譯有《納尼亞傳奇》《鏡中的愛麗絲》《性本自然》等書。
