A small café in the middle of nowhere becomes a turning point in the life of John, an advertising manager who is always in a hurry. Actually he only wants to take a short break, but then he discovers three questions on the menu next to the menu of the day: "Why are you here? Are you afraid of death? Are you living a fulfilled life?" How strange - but once curious, John wants to find out this secret with the help of the cook, the waitress and a guest. The questions about the meaning of life take him far away from his boardroom to the sea coast of Hawaii. His attitude towards life and relationships changes, and he learns how much can be learned from a wise green sea turtle. So this journey ultimately turns into a journey to one's own self. A book that is as vividly written, humorous and touching as it is touching.
