| book description |

From the #1 global bestselling author of The 5AM Club and The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari comes a powerful parable about reclaiming our humanity. Returning to the storytelling form that made him a global phenomenon, Robin Sharma shows us that our greatest power lies not in what we do, but in who we choose to be. Meet Niko, a talented coder who lives the kind of life people strive for. Yet somewhere along the way, he stopped being a person and started being a function. When his grandfather – a legendary tech billionaire – dies, Niko finds himself unexpectedly confronted by a painful past. At the funeral, a mysterious gardener offers him an invitation: meet at dawn to learn how to live a ‘defiantly human’ life. The invitation strikes Niko as odd, but he agrees. Over nine Sundays, Niko receives instruction in a curriculum for a soulful life, steeped in the wisdom shaped from witnessing thousands of funerals and identifying what makes a life truly well-lived. With the gardener's guidance, Niko begins restoring what technology has stolen, through rituals like: unearthing your buried gifts building resilience through presence choosing attention over automation Blending soulful wisdom with practical tools, this book will help you reconnect with what matters – and rediscover a life that truly feels like your own.
