The book told about an interesting story of a lawyer who appears to have it all - the corner office, the life style, the cars, women, and etc that every successful person should have. Then one day suddenly he gave it all up and tours the East. While there searching for "some answer in his life", he comes across this strange monk and monastery. He comes to live life in a much different way. Yet he is challenged by the monk who has trained him to go back home in the West and share the message he has learn. Julian, the main character, returns to his old law firm and to his prodigy, John. He tells him a parable; then the rest of the book explains the parable and how it relates to different aspects of our lives. The parable is rather simple and a little strange but as it is explained you will never forget it. Read it to find out how a garden, lighthouse, sumo wrestler, pink wire cable, stopwatch, roses and a winding path of diamonds are symbols of timeless principles and virtues by which to live your life. This book could help raise the quality of your life to a new level.
