A story about true friendship,
inner wealth and the search for happiness
Munich. “They say that at the moment of death, our whole life flashes before our eyes,” said Ego. “I've heard that too,” replied Marc. “But I have the feeling that my life has been flashing before my eyes for fifty years.”
Marc Lambert, a successful entrepreneur in his mid-50s, begins to question his life more and more. He realizes that life is more than external wealth and professional success. Even if these things are nice and pleasant and have led to him now having the freedom to devote himself to such thoughts. A stroke of fate throws him off course – only to lead him step by step on the path to himself.
Always by his side is standard poodle 'Ego', a very special four-legged friend. Not only because he has been with Marc since his youth and time seems to pass him by without a trace – with the exception of a few grey hairs. But also because he knows all the ups and downs in Marc's life and sometimes pushes him and his thoughts in the right direction with gentle paws and sometimes with a big snout.
Anyone who knows entrepreneur and sales expert Martin Limbeck will now be rubbing their eyes in amazement. But you read that right: With 'A Dog Named Ego', the five-time bestselling author leaves the realm of self-help books and surprises with an entertaining novel that looks at the big questions of life in a humorous and profound way.
One or two parallels between Limbeck and the main character Marc cannot be denied. Coincidence or intention? Who knows, after all, it is life that writes the best stories.
Whether you're a dog lover or not, 'A Dog Named Ego' is a fabulous gift for anyone who wants to learn how to really live their life. The book inspires you to listen to yourself without trying to lecture you. Because the decision about which path you take and how you take it is ultimately up to you.
About the author
Always higher, faster, further: that was Martin Limbeck's motto for a long time. In his mid-twenties he already had everything that others dreamed of all their lives. But it was still far from enough for him. An unprecedented career followed: entrepreneur, bestselling author, millionaire. What he discovered over the years: money opens many doors for you and enables you and your family to live a comfortable life. You can fulfill many material desires – but that alone will not make you happy if you are not at peace with yourself.
Therefore, his focus is no longer just on his job, but also on his calling. As an entrepreneur, he is committed to German medium-sized businesses and, as an ambassador for Kinderlachen eV, he advocates for the needs of sick and disadvantaged children in Germany. And he enjoys spending time with his adult son and his three standard poodles whenever possible. More at martinlimbeck.de.
