A hard crash into the Wall.
A quest for a new life, through the South Pacific.
All roads, though, point inwards.
"You Americans have everything, except you don't understand the most important things."
Facing total burnout, a forty-three year old professional learns that “success” is slowly killing him. He unplugs from the spiral, to answer "what's next" from the idyllic roads of New Zealand and Australia. Greeting him are jolts of inspiration, as well as hidden traumas and old failures. Meanwhile, time is running out for new answers. He must return soon, to embrace the known life or continue a path with no clear answers.
Hey, What’s on 13? chronicles a journey through midlife turbulence: a tale of driving into the unknown, facing one's skeletons, and learning to arrive at rekindled purpose.
Praise for Hey, What's on 13?
“Part travelogue and part confessional, a book of unyielding honesty that offers both questions and answers about the uncertainties of midlife, the changing nature of relationships, and our sense of belonging in a shifting world. Meanwhile, provides a fresh perspective on identity and history, giving voice to those who chase the American Dream while feeling invisible within its landscape. Hey, What’s on 13? gives us permission to discard inherited ideas and explore who we are becoming.”
--Shan Mukhtar, DEI professional and researcher
