Captains Wanted (A Novel)

Captains Wanted blends metaphysical and literary fiction to send readers on a journey of mind, body, and spiritual healing.

Inspired by personal anecdotes with indigenous ceremonial and Western therapeutic modalities that author Andres Schabelman sought after working at some of Silicon Valley’s largest tech companies, this captivating story combines elements of magical realism and literary fiction to offer an experimental take on success and self-growth.

Captains Wanted tells the story of what happens when people are willing to follow a new path, especially one they don’t logically understand. Through a collection of ceremonial anecdotes that touch upon each of the senses, readers are invited to not merely observe but actively participate in the quest for self-discovery. In the end, they are encouraged to draw their own conclusions about what has occurred and embark on a personal odyssey, where the meaning and significance unfold uniquely for each individual.
