Product Overview

In his youth, Shaun Micallef almost joined the priesthood. Now he wonders if he may have missed his one shot at the answers to life's big questions. Heading to India, a country where spirituality and the search for meaning is very much a national pastime, he immerses himself in the Hindu world of gods, gurus and the Ganges. In a bid to get to the heart of the faith, Shaun pushes well beyond his comfort zone on a physical, mental and spiritual adventure. He journeys to the source of the Ganges, high in the Himalayas – all the while offering his own unique observations on his quest to find the meaning of life.

'[Shaun Micallef’s] quest to discover if there is "greater purpose than being a semi-professional Australian TV personality" makes for a funny and watchable journey.' – Sydney Morning Herald
