The modern, spiritual adventure That’s All I Ever Wanted to Be tells the story of Evan Bloom, a man who gives up everything to reveal the diversities of poverty verses wealth, enemies verses friendship, life verses death, and loneliness verses true love. On his journey in and around New York City, Evan learns to trust his instincts and intuition in discovering his true self.
How is it that a young thirty-something, multi- millionaire stockbroker with all of the trappings that wealth brings could leave it all behind to live penniless? Is there more to life than having great wealth? Can one more readily discover the meaning of life, love and true happiness by living with nothing?
It would be hard to think that many important lessons could not be learned by pursuing the life you were born to live, discovering your soul’s purpose, finding your soulmate and creating the life you have always dreamed of.
Join Evan on his journey to share his gift with the world and be loved and enlightened. That’s All He Ever Wanted to Be…
At age 35, Evan Bloom yearns for an escape from his life. In spite of all the wealthy trappings of success, the only thing “real” in his life is his 6-year-old daughter.
Told in first person from Evan’s perspective, That’s All I Ever Wanted To Be takes readers into his past. Even with all the newest toys and gadgets, Evan wanted the one thing money couldn’t buy—love.
Author Scott Gendal makes a bold statement with the main character’s willingness to discard all the superficial trappings of his life so he can get the reset he desperately needs. It’s inspirational to see Evan’s transformation, but a part of me thought he was bonkers!
Money can bring plenty of bad behaviors, all of which Evan pointed out. The author’s frank approach acknowledges Evan’s frustrations and subsequent enlightenment. His new life serves as an example of how different things can be when you are living in an authentic way.
That’s All I Ever Wanted To Be delivers a chance for a man to chart a different course in life without the burden that comes with extreme wealth.
