The Way of the Quest - A Young Shakespeare's Search for Life's Meaning & Purpose (Paperback)


"Each individual comes into life with a unique mix of capacities, known as one's 'Daimon'. The central task of life is to recognise and realise these talents."
ARISTOTLE

True happiness inevitably slips through fingers that are tired from the task of building a modern life that does not match our core desires and our true self. How do we identify our Daimon? How does this lead us to meaning, our true purpose and greater happiness? This rich, intriguing tale answers these very questions.

In the middle of the sixteenth century amidst the heritage of the Knights Templar, warring Queens and the mystical meet sixteen-year-old Francis Bacon as he runs from his privileged, but conflicted life. As the era of the chivalrous knight draws to a close, Francis is embarking on a quest to discover his soul's passion. It is a journey that ultimately leads him to profoundly change the worlds of law, science, philosophy, religion and literature. On the achingly romantic island of Mont St Michel a spiritual place of myths, legends, great battles and heroism things are far from what they seem. Aspiring to be a knight in shining armour, Francis learns so much more than battle skills under the greatest Chevalier of all time. On The Mont, Francis meets the Masters of both the Light and the Dark who teach him the way of the quest. His quest is everyone's quest for the answers to the meaning and purpose of our lives. And then Francis falls for the captivating Queen Marguerite, the Juliet of his later writings...

This inspirational story demonstrates how to make sense of, and rise above, life's challenges and adversities. Like the magical Mont St Michel, The Way of The Quest is more than it seems.
