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.

  • An inspirational story about a man who, despite having it all on the outside, sets out on a quest to reconnect with his soul and rediscover who he really is in order to live a true and authentic life for the first time. In today's society, many silently struggle with fitting in and maintain appearances. We frequently feel empty and meaningless inside after displaying our wealth and letting that determine who we are in a social circle. The book serves as both an inspiration and a gentle reminder that all we really need is inner peace, self-love, family, and a sense of community. If we are not content with who we are and do not truly love ourselves, the materialistic elements of what we chase fail to fulfill our hearts and souls. This story, again, is inspirational and makes me want to continue my own healing journey and inspire others to do the same. This book is a must read!
