In this story where fantasy meets facts, a 46-year-old man dies and enters a new world. Creating his own version of heaven, Brett immediately finds himself in an acoustic jam with Bob Marley and Jimi Hendrix at a dive bar. Even better, he runs into someone very special to him-—his best friend’s dog, a black Labrador named Odysseus. As the two pal around in Heavenland, a reflective dialogue ensues (yes, they both talk), using a paintbrush full of historic icons, a lost love, one old friend, and two regrets. In the presence of Ghandi, Flipper, and famous authors, Odysseus coordinates a deal to settle one of Brett’s lifelong regrets.
Ride the rollercoaster of deep emotions through the afterlife’s philosophical soup while the boys dive into the topics of sex, racism, death, and relationships. Join Brett on his adventures as he explores the jungles of Costa Rica and climbs Mt. Kilimanjaro. You will feel inspired, motivated, and anxious to live your life more fully while you still can. Brett’s positive attitude will help you find your balance of happiness.
