A LAUGH-OUT-LOUD NOVEL THAT IS AT ONCE WILDLY FUNNY AND WISE!

He’s looking for his higher self. He found a high-priced cult instead.

A fabulist with a flatulence problem claiming to descend from Sufi saints, Amer Fateh is an eccentric surfer dwelling in a tent in the Big Sur coastal wilderness.

While on a quest for his divine double, Amer is offered a job by the charismatic Guru Dod Sen to work at a mountaintop meditation retreat.

Amer happily accepts, unaware he’s accidentally joined a predatory cult.

In true "holy fool" fashion, he fails forward, becoming the top salesman for an elite brand of enlightenment.

But his whirling dervish dances, psychedelic trips, and weird antics turn the retreat into a circus of chaos.

Seeing big dollar signs in the goofy Sufi, the Guru is willing to overlook Amer’s farces and farts and devises a scheme to lure him deeper into the clutches of cult control.

Can a bumbling buffoon with a big heart—and even bigger social awkwardness—survive the corporate spiritual machine? Or will his search for the divine end in a very earthly disaster?

Join the journey of the mystic misfit Sufi surfer – Amer Fateh – as he unleashes a wave of mischief, chaos, and healing in a broken beach community.

Perfect for fans of The Big Lebowski, Forrest Gump, and The Alchemist, this irreverent laugh-out-loud adventure blends the comedic wit of Christopher Moore’s Lamb with the quirky, heartfelt humor of Annie Hartnett’s The Road to Tender Hearts and the satirical absurdity of Jason Pargin’s I'm Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom.

Digital Review Copies (ARCs) are now available for BookTok, Bookstagram, Goodreads, and blog reviewers ahead of the INFINITY DAY 8/8 (August 8, 2026) launch.
