★★★★★
"I came in with a spreadsheet comparing job offers. I left having forgiven myself for the decade I'd spent optimising for the wrong thing. The programme didn't give me answers — it gave me the right questions, and the courage to sit with them."
Otto — Austin, TX
★★★★★
"I'd built my identity around my salary. Retirement wasn't supposed to feel like a bereavement. Career Crossroads helped me separate who I am from what I did — and what I discovered was that the post-salary version of me was considerably more interesting."
Huma — London
★★★★★
"I expected to emerge with a new career. Instead I stayed in the same job — but I'm a different person doing it. That was not what I planned. It was exactly what I needed."
Matt — New York, NY
"A Modern Myth for Anxious Times"
In a foreign land, the Traveler awakes from dreadful injury and embarks on a quest he doesn't understand. Magical guides instruct and deceive him as he seeks to answer the greatest question: "Who am I?" His journey to Mountain City enthralls the ten thousand. Can he possibly be what they believe he is?
Based in current-day Pittsburgh, Phil Grimm is a spy — an energy consortium's secret weapon to crack environmental activist networks. As the nation polarises and extremism festers, he works undercover, but an older secret defines and divides him. Lila could be the genuine article or just another protester. She creates alternate realities for a living and wants humanity to play, but her impish nature conceals rare wisdom.
We peer into alternative worlds, inspired by great sages — ancient and modern, scientific and spiritual, from Lao Tzu to Einstein. How do these realms relate to Phil's life, to the Traveler's, to the dystopian future we glimpse?
The bottom falls from Phil's world. When he loses himself, is there any way back — for him or for them? As corporations wage biological warfare, civilisation teeters. New leaders step forward, but how do these pioneers serve a crumbling society?
In a story about stories, Phil Grimm's Progress shows us how to see the plots we inhabit and to explore others. Ultimately, it invites and inspires us to create our own.
What readers say
★★★★★
"This book is mind bending, thought provoking and educational all at once. Two parallel stories — one of environmental espionage, the other a mystical quest — weave together beautifully. Science fiction, philosophy, physics and mysticism all blur into a mind soup that will leave you with answers and even more questions. A book for the curious people out there who want to scratch beneath the surface of what appears to be fact."

★★★★★
"A wonderful read. I particularly enjoyed the journey to Mountain City, and the unravelling of the mystery posed by the Stranger and the Man. Fraley's book asks some important questions about our society, leading the reader through each with great style and considered pace. Jump into the many worlds and enjoy an epic story!"
