Tree and the Mountain

Andrew has it all: a loving family; a thriving career; a future full of promise. Until, in one violent moment, everything is torn away and he is cast into a strange realm – an endless, verdant forest overshadowed by a single, forbidding mountain.

To escape the limbo between life and death and return to his loved ones, Andrew must climb the mountain. This perilous journey will test his courage, strip away his illusions, and compel him to become the person he is meant to be.

Praise for The Tree and the Mountain
‘A clear, uplifting fable that makes the inner journey real – inspiring us to move forward without losing touch with what grounds us. Simple, yet profound.’ Adrien Geiger, CEO of L’Occitane en Provence

‘The Tree and the Mountain is a book of wisdom for the ages. Jonathan Cave brilliantly unfolds his lifelong learnings to address the most relevant questions about life. He inspires you to discover the greatest treasure in the human kingdom: the incredible self within each of us – rooted in values, imbued with talents and filled with noble aspirations, enabling you to be the best of you, day after day. Here’s a book that is worthy of being a companion for life.’ Ravi Chaudhry, Former Chairman of Tata Group Companies and award-winning author of Capitalism to Peopleism: Inspiring a Leadership Transformation

‘From the first, The Tree and the Mountain draws you in and is almost impossible to put down. Andrew’s journey opens questions in the reader’s mind about decisions and opportunities in one’s own life. A wonderful journey.’ Governor Christine Todd Whitman, Former Governor of New Jersey, Vice Chair, Eisenhower Fellowships

Jonathan Cave experienced a nomadic childhood, living in five countries before settling in New Zealand to study law. By forty, he was a partner in a prestigious Geneva firm, outwardly successful yet inwardly drained, restless and unable to enjoy the life he had worked so hard to create. Determined to bridge that gap, Jonathan turned inward, asking himself who he truly was, what mattered most and why he was chasing so hard. This inside-out approach helped him move beyond his impostor syndrome and rediscover the clarity, alignment and energy he thought he had lost. Today, Jonathan is an international leadership coach, guiding people from all walks of life on journeys of self-discovery and growth. The Tree and the Mountain, his first allegorical book, is born of this transformation and invites readers to reflect on their own search for meaning, purpose and authenticity. He is married with two children and loves rugby.
