The Buddha Who Drove a Bentley

#1 Wall Street Journal Bestseller

What if you could gain the whole world,
but it would cost your soul?

Most people think Vincent, a man in his late forties, has truly arrived. From the outside, he has it all: money, an affluent lifestyle, a great family, a lucrative career, and impeccable health. But on the inside, he knows the truth. The weight of wearing this mask has taken a toll on his soul.

Just living a day in his own skin is a price he’s unsure he wants to pay. In a moment of desperation, Vincent escapes in his Bentley and heads to the mountains. While driving on the windy roads, he recalls painful memories, moments of betrayal, and toxic lies. Alone and overwhelmed, he wakes up in an exotic and unfamiliar place.

On his journey, he meets unexpected guides. Each one teaches Vincent an essential lesson that begins to heal the pain. Some include how you must:

  • Forgive yourself before you can forgive others

  • Tell yourself the truth, no matter what the cost

  • Slow down, or you will miss the most magical moments

  • Stay connected and believe your life is part of a bigger story

Through these chance encounters, Vincent begins to rediscover his lost soul. He is confronted with a choice that has eternal implications. Does he stay in this otherworldly place or return to his former life in hopes of changing the world?

The Buddha Who Drove a Bentley will help you on your own journey to live your most authentic life, find true happiness, and have it all.

About the Author

Alessandro Tronco is living proof that the American Dream still exists. Born in Sicily, he immigrated to the United States at only six years old with nothing but his family’s hopes and dreams to guide him. After spending nearly a decade here, Alessandro returned to Sicily for six months and then returned to America by himself at fifteen years old with only five dollars in his pocket. Lack of experience and means didn’t stop him from chasing his ambitions. He attended Siena College and then began working as a Financial Advisor for Northwestern Mutual, rising quickly through the ranks to become one of the youngest Managing Partners in the company’s 166-year history. Through hard work and determination, Alessandro has gone from having only five dollars to his name to a success story.
