Synopsis
The premise of this award-winning inspirational novel is that we cannot be truly happy if we are not clear on what is meaningful for each of us and we are not pursuing a purpose that reflects this meaning. Coming from the experience of a practicing psychiatrist, this novel takes the reader on a journey to answer the three questions that most of us struggle with: Who am I? What am I here to do? What is holding me back from pursuing what I am here to do? While winning awards in both 'Inspirational fiction' and 'Visionary Fiction' categories, The Way of The Quest might be best called a 'motivational, self-help novel'. Inspired in equal parts by the tales of King Arthur and Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist, it was written by Dr George Blair-West as a fun, engaging story set as the era of the chivalrous knight is drawing to a close. As a practicing psychotherapist, Dr Blair-West wrote the book to go a step further than The Alchemist and look at the practical 'how to' of finding and following one's purpose while managing the fear that holds us back. It follows the life of a sixteen-year-old boy leaving his home in England and travelling to the magical Mont St Michel in search of both adventure and himself. Coming from wealth and privilege, instead of staying in Paris as instructed by Queen Elizabeth, he takes off to Mont St Michel to train under the greatest knight of all time. Francis Bacon, a real life figure, is no ordinary young man. Later in life he will be acclaimed as one of the geniuses of his age as he will go on to forever change the worlds of law, science and literature. When you meet him, however, he is a confused 16-year-old trying to find his way. This book follows the course of his fascinating life as meets the great teachers on The Mont who set him on his path ... and the woman he falls for who inspires him to follow it. "This magnificent and magical tale, while taking me to far off lands, helped me back into my own heart and soul. This is a captivating and delicious reminder that we, like the Knights of old, have the right to defend the truth of our own being with courage, honour, love and wisdom. This story will light your journey with some long forgotten truths about who we are, what we are capable of, the importance of finding our meaning and the immense and adventurous journey that life is supposed to be." Krista Fuller, Writer & Editor

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Most people increasingly appreciate that true happiness can only be found through finding what is meaningful for each of us, and the purpose it then informs in life. Equally, most people struggle with the "how to" of this quest. In the genre and style of Paulo Coelho's novel The Alchemist, psychiatrist, George Blair-West has crafted a multi-award winning story that takes the reader on the journey of how to actually negotiate the most challenging of life's quests.Set in the closing of the era of the Knights Templar, The Way of The Quest follows the 16-year-old reluctant hero of this adventure story, as he runs in anger from his privileged life at Queen Elizabeth's court. Francis Bacon escapes to the magical Mont St Michel off the coast of France where he is taken under the wing of Catherine, The Mont's physician, who introduces him to a secret society. Francis is adopted by the great minds who have gathered on the island - imprisoned by a naive King who had no idea he was facilitating the very thing he feared the most - a concentration of wisdom, pushing the edges of knowledge and spiritual awareness. A motivational, self-help novel inspired by the tales of King Arthur and Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist. It is engaging story set as the era of the chivalrous knight is drawing to a close. It follows the life of a 16 year old boy leaving his home in England and travelling to the Mont St Michel in search of both adventure and himself.
