Synopsis

The Compass is a life transformation novel that will guide you on a journey of self-discovery. At the core of The Compass are specific lessons about belief systems and understanding who you really are in order to live out your destiny. Jonathan, the main character, escapes his suburban life after a tragedy that alters his plans for the future. Paralyzed by grief, he decides to journey across the globe in an effort to realign his inner compass. He sets off with a backpack leaving behind his career, friends, family, and home. His travels begin in the dry desert of Nevada, and continue on to the pristine mountains of the Adirondacks, and then to a medieval village in Romania. In each destination Jonathan encounters one pivotal person who offers a major life lesson, and he begins to realize that each individual was placed there for a reason. The Compass is a metaphor for the journey of our lives. In the tradition of The Alchemist, The Compass provides you with specific life lessons about authenticity, self-empowerment, and believing in your dreams. As humans we are all connected – by love, pain, and sometimes even by tragedies or events we cannot control. Each one of us travels a unique path, yet we are linked by experiences and emotions. In this connectedness, there is life.

Goodreads review by David

Ok. The book had some lessons to tell, and was most certainly interesting. Yet the story felt fake and contrived. I believe in destiny and listening to your inner voice, as well as meeting the people that you need at a particular moment. But this story didn't seem remotely possible. Plus the explana......more

I wasn't very impressed with this book. I feel like all books about "finding yourself" that include travel are stories that really only apply to people with money. Whatever happened to the lesson of The Wizard of Oz, that happiness is to be found in your own backyard?......more

Goodreads review by Keith

I’ve never been enamored with self-help books, self-help speakers or other such supportive paraphernalia but somehow I ended up with this book. Okay, I thought it was a novel and it had a slick dust jacket with a hiker on the cover and I was in a hurry, so I bought it. It claims to be “a novel that......more

The book by itself is ok, the group promoting the book feels phony for me.......more
