When Success Becomes a Prison

Julian Mantle had everything money could buy-a Ferrari, a mansion, a private jet, and a reputation as one of the most brilliant trial lawyers in the country. Yet at fifty-three, he looked seventy. His body had become a battlefield, ravaged by stress and eighteen-hour workdays. His mind, once sharp as a blade, had dulled. Then one ordinary Tuesday morning in court, his heart gave out. He collapsed in his expensive Italian suit, fighting for his life on the courtroom floor while colleagues watched in horror. This wasn't just a heart attack-it was his body's final rebellion against a life lived entirely wrong. When Julian recovered, he did something that shocked everyone who knew him: he sold everything and vanished. For three years, no one knew where he'd gone or if he was even alive. What they didn't know was that Julian had embarked on a journey that would transform him from a burned-out lawyer into a radiant being who'd discovered ancient secrets capable of revolutionizing any life.
