My First Book
“The Religion of Self-Enlightenment”
Carrick Ares is a man without belief. Yet at the age of twenty-nine, he has a near-death experience which changes him.
He is sent to a psychiatrist, Paul Turnstone, in order to return him to his usual state of mind. They discuss many of the central themes of life, including identity, the purpose of individual existence and the idea of progress. They become more compassionate toward each other and a friendship of some depth develops.
However, Carrick goes insane trying to understand life’s biggest questions. In his insanity, he creates a new religion: The Religion of Self-Enlightenment. This is a discussion on, and reinterpretation of, human religion to date.
A cult sensation, with positive word of mouth causing it to sell out at bookshops across the region.
