What Is The Magic Life About?

The Magic Life is a metaphysical mystery. On one hand it's the story of a man who dreamt of becoming a magician, but instead became an accountant – a man who yearned for one particular woman, but never quite had the courage to tell her so. On the other, it's the story of an ordinary young man who learns far more about life, love, and death, than he ever dreamed possible.

The Story:

There is an ancient Buddhist proverb that states, "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear."

James Carpenter plays by the rules. He attended a good college, worked hard and eventually became a successful accountant. Outwardly, he is a typical American success story. "Why?" he asks, "If I am doing so well ... am I unhappy with work, unfulfilled in love, and just bored with life?"

His "teacher" is about to materialize. Without realizing it, James is living his life trapped in a strait jacket. After a disturbing nightmare in which he finds himself strapped in a "strait jacket", he coincidentally meets a mysterious street magician performing the "strait jacket" escape. This magician, Maximillion, pulls James out of the crowd and challenges him to a simple test. If he passes, his reward will be nothing less than the secrets to the magic life. Unbeknownst to James, this test will shake his very faith in reality as Max turns out to be no ordinary magician.

The plot (both mystery and love story) is full of insights into the meaning of happiness, the power of coincidence, and the wonders of synchronicity. It is about taking risks and following your dreams. In a simple, compelling way, THE MAGIC LIFE teaches the reader to respect the power of coincidence and acknowledge the importance of life's illusions, challenging us to live life to its fullest.

This novel philosophy is highly motivational. and recommended by Classbrain.com as one of the top motivational books for students. It borders on the metaphysical at times and its "novel" philosophy is rooted in Eastern religion, but not religious. If you believe there is a reason for life, you should read this book. It is about how "living life" is the answer to the question of life. It is about discovering not just who we are and what we are capable of, but most importantly, why we are?
