The Island of the Four Ps: A Modern Fable About Preparing for Your Future (Unabridged‪)‬

In his best-selling memoir, On The Road Less Traveled, Ed Hajim told the story of how he went from being a 3 year-old-boy kidnapped by his father (and then abandoned to foster care), to becoming a successful Wall Street executive and family man. The Island of the Four Ps, is a story told in two parts. The first is a modern fable, inspired by that experience, and the second is the author's personal story, which draws upon his own hard-won life lessons. Performed by award-winning actors in a full cast recording, the fable treats listeners to an immersive experience, as Marketus, a young man leaving home for the first time, embarks on a spiritual quest that will provide the foundation for, and a pathway to, a meaningful and fulfilling life.

In dialogue with Archimedes, a wise elder, who serves as his guide, Marketus begins an incredible journey across a magical island, traversing land, dangerous waters, and mountain peaks. In the process, he finds answers to life’s most important questions—discovering his passions, principles, partners and plans, the four Ps of the title. As Marketus meets challenges, we gain a deeper understanding of how to navigate change while remaining true to our values and ideals. An inspiring and motivational guide, told through an allegorical tale, The Island of the Four Ps will help listeners set a course for their own fulfilling and unique futures.
