A New Visitor to the Café on the Edge of the World

by John StreleckyGerman: Überraschung im Café am Rande der Welt

The fourth café book, in which someone new finds the café and its questions.

In one breath

A New Visitor is the fourth book in John Strelecky's café series. A new guest finds the café, and the familiar questions about purpose, fear and fulfilment meet a new life and a new point of view.

What it's about

After three books with John, the café opens its door to someone new. That small shift makes the questions feel fresh again, because you see them land in a different life.

It shows that the café's questions are not one person's story. They work at any age and in any situation, and everyone answers them in their own way.

Short, light and warm, like the others in the series. It also works as a way into the series for someone who has never read it.

Three ideas that stay

  1. The questions are for everyone

    Why are you here? is not reserved for a midlife crisis. It fits at twenty and at seventy.

  2. Fresh eyes help

    Seeing someone else wrestle with the same questions makes your own answers clearer.

  3. Pass it on

    What helped you might help someone else. The café keeps welcoming new guests for a reason.

Why it inspired your friend

What I liked most is the idea behind it: the café isn't just for one person. The questions get passed on.

That's exactly what ifeelfive tries to do. Not to tell anyone how to live, just to pass on a few questions that helped one friend, and see what they do for you.

Who would you give these questions to? Why not send them this page?

Your friend. Who is your friend?

Try this, if you like

Think of one person who's at a turning point right now. Send them the three café questions, without advice.
