A breezy, fable-driven tale drawn from Eastern wisdom. This book is pure, page-turning magic for beginners and beyond!

Imagine a high-powered lawyer collapsing in court mid-trial, selling his red Ferrari and everything else, then vanishing to the Himalayas — only to return glowing, sharing the Sages of Sivana's magical fable: in a magnificent garden stood a tall lighthouse, from which a sumo wrestler stumbles out, finding a golden stopwatch, wearing a pink wire cable, surrounded by yellow roses, and  walking a path covered in diamonds.

What you can get from reading it

  • 7 fable-packed virtues: 
    • Magnificent Garden → Master Your Mind
    • Towering Lighthouse → Follow Your Purpose
    • Sumo Wrestler → Practice Kaizen (continuous improvement)
    • Golden Stopwatch → Respect Your Time
    • Pink Wire Cable → Live with Discipline
    • Field of Roses → Selflessly Serve Others
    • Path of Diamonds → Embrace the Present
  • Cultivate your "mind garden" by weeding negative thoughts daily, planting purpose seeds for radiant inner calm others preach vaguely.
  • Anchor in your life's "lighthouse" via vivid visualization, clarifying mission amid chaos uniquely fable-framed.
  • Build kaizen rituals—invigorating breath, fire touch, empty boat mindset—for sustained energy no quick-fix promises.
  • Master time as your "golden stopwatch"—prioritize sacred hours for high-value joys, reclaiming life from busyness traps.
  • Harness the "pink wire cable" discipline—small daily commitments forging unbreakable willpower and focused flow.​
  • Live "heart virtues" like selfless service and abundance wins, softening ego for effortless leadership.
  • Walk the "diamond path" savoring now's miracles, releasing past/future grip for presence playfulness absent in heavy tomes.​
