Synopsis

Wickedly funny, utterly physical, and fiercely intellectual Jonathan Marcus graduated from college and turned his attention to the real question.

What is this life about and how do you wring the most out of it?

Then he found a semi-secret group called The Work.

Led by the outrageous, brilliant, bombastic Jan Cox, simple but revelatory weekly “Tasks” fostered new ways of perceiving. All habits of mind and body were ripe for shattering. And crazy combinations of meditation, all-nighters, live theater, fasting, boxing, and astrophysics peeled away the walls of self.

But the conflicted Cox also spawned shock, betrayal, and consternation.

This nakedly honest and humorous account ushers you into a closed society hidden in plain sight: the joy and specifics of what worked . . . and what didn’t.

What tied Marcus to his chosen tribe of seekers? What did he get out of all this effort? How did it shape the rest of his life?

As one reviewer said,

“Go for it. Read this story. Let it simmer and seep into you until you squirm out of your comfort zone and then see what you can discover about yourself and others. Do it for the fun of it. You may just learn the most important lessons of your life.”
