The Island of the Four Ps, a spinoff of Ed Hajim's bestselling memoir On The Road Less Traveled, is a modern fable about a young man, Marketus, who leaves home for the first time and travels to an island on a quest to answer some of life's basic questions.
The book, a conversation with the hero's inner voice, is divided into four fundamental sections: passions, principles, partners, and plansβthe key ingredients to making a successful life, says the author. This magical trip takes Marketus and his guide to four villages named after the four Ps. As he enters each place, Marketus places a green pea into a special device, which allows him to store his thoughts, retrieve them, and integrate them.
This engaging tale features full-colour illustrations throughout, bringing this parable to life in the most unusual way. Perfect for those looking for inspiration in an ever-changing world, Marketus and the Four Peas offers a timeless message for everyone.
