In the midst of the Canadian mountain landscape, a stressed and permanently dissatisfied manager finds inner peace.

Under the loving guidance of a wise old lady, they experience the beauty of nature and reflect on their own lives and the true meaning of contentment while observing the social behavior of a pack of wolves.

The book combines the insights of successful literary works, various religions, teachings and wisdom of primitive peoples, and observations from the animal and plant world into a sensitive, comprehensible, and empathetic narrative.

The story and its conclusion represent the lowest common denominator of these sources and offer the reader an inspiring guide for imitation: the eight pillars for a self-determined and contented life.
