"The Why Cafe" is a wonderful book by John Strelecky.

The book centers around 3 profound questions:
- Why are you here?

- Are you fulfilled?

This book was given to me (JD) by a dear friend, Jon Boorman. This episode covers how impactful this book was to JD and how Jon Boorman answered the 3 questions during his battle with cancer.
