If you’re successful, we’d love to hear what your group thinks about the book and for you to share your reviews on key retailer sites. Good luck!

ABOUT THE BOOK

‘I didn’t kill anyone until I was forty-two. That’s actually a little on the late side for my current professional environment. Admittedly, I did kill almost half a dozen in the week that followed.’

Björn has been given an ultimatum: repair his work-life balance, or his wife Katharina will leave him – and take their daughter.

He reluctantly starts a mindfulness class and to his surprise, it’s a revelation. He becomes calmer, more focused, and he’s starting to understand what’s really important in life. So when his client and brutal crime boss Dragan Sergowicz tries to interfere with his precious family time, Björn remembers his new-found goal to find serenity – and kills him.

Now Björn can deepen his practice and seek inner peace – violently.

‘A violent, feel-good rampage of a book where the pace and positivity never let up. Twisted and hilarious!’ CALLUM MCSORLEY

‘A razor-sharp satire on stressed-out modern society, a darkly comic and hugely entertaining crime thriller and – believe it or not – also a handy guide to improving your life through mindfulness.’ ROBBIE MORRISON

‘What a breath of fresh air! Dark, very funny, totally engaging.’ CRAIG RUSSELL
