Publisher Marketing: Like strangers in an unfamiliar country walking over a hidden treasure, day by day we enter the world of Brahman while in deep sleep but never find it, carried away by what is false.

To be middle aged and unemployed is a challenge, add unemployable to that and you have, what literary folks would refer to as, a conundrum. But conundrums, like riddles are there to be solved, and with a large helping of Irish luck, sure nothing is impossible. Join us on their journey, a search, not just for work, but a voyage of self-discovery. This book takes you on an engaging caravan to the centre of the Irish soul; there are many twists and turns on the way.
