Michael is about to embark on writing his second book, all about the meaning of true success. His agent wants him to take an academic stance - a review of success down through the ages - but Michael wants to write a book that feels true to him. So he embarks on a 22-week overland trip from London to Sydney, to give him a chance to figure it all out.

He gets his answer unexpectedly in a hotel in Singapore, where the mysterious Parandin asks him a series of questions about what it means to live a life of true success. She challenges him to share what he has learnt, in order to inspire others.

You may be feeling that:
The success you want in your life has evaded you or passed you by
You have been pursuing someone else's idea of success
You have no idea what true success might mean for you.

If so, then this is the book for you. Whether you are just starting out on your life's journey or have already gone some way down the road, Michael shows you that it is never too late to discover what true success means to you, and to go after it. For when you do, anything can happen.
