The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari

This is one of those book that I read again and again, just like "think and grow rich". It's about Julian Mantle, a high-profile lawyer who collapses in the middle of a trial and decides to find the purpose of life by traveling to the Himalayas where he meets a group of sages who impart their wisdom to him via a fable.

The fable starts in a magnificent garden with a lighthouse in the middle of the grounds. Out of the lighthouse walks a Sumo wrestler who is naked except for a pink wire cable covering his privates. He slips and falls on a stopwatch that’s been lying on the floor and loses consciousness. However, the wrestler wakes up to the fresh fragrance of yellow roses coming from a distance. He looks over and then discovers that there is a diamond-studded pathway which he takes.
