Even five months on the Big Island can change you forever. Being invited to visit the fiery home of Madame Pele, getting scared half-to-death by a UFO hovering over a lava field, and manifesting a blue feather out of thin air has that effect.

Yet Andrew’s most powerful transformation was still ahead.

A routine hitchhiking trip into town brings a new person into Andrew’s life that just might have the perfect opportunity for him. His new friend is a volunteer at a Vipassana meditation center. She invites him to join her on a 10-day silent meditation course and then live near the meditation center afterward, doing a very different kind of work-trade than he’s ever done.

Andrew accepts and plunges into an intense experience, delving deeper into his mind and body than ever before, unearthing trauma that he thought he had healed long ago. In the process, a profound realization hits him and propels him into a new chapter of his life.

Ten Thousand Hours in Paradise is a 3-volume true story about community, sustainability, and a remarkable journey on the Big Island of Hawaii. In Volume 2: Tribulations, Andrew dives deep into a life-changing Vipassana meditation course, gains a new perspective on unrequited love, and is wished “Happy Birthday” from a man beyond the grave.

What happens when paradise stops distracting you and starts showing you who you really are?

Ten Thousand Hours in Paradise: Tribulationscontinues Andrew’s true journey on the Big Island of Hawaii, picking up exactly where Volume 1 left off and turning inward, toward the most difficult terrain of all.

A routine hitchhiking ride introduces a new person into Andrew’s life and an invitation he can’t ignore: a ten-day silent Vipassana meditation retreat.

What begins as curiosity quickly becomes a radical experiment in awareness. In total silence, with no distractions and no stories to hide behind, he learns to observe his thoughts without attachment, confront buried trauma without narrative, and witness firsthand the impermanent nature of everything he thought he was.

As the days unfold, paradise takes on a new meaning. Old emotional patterns surface. Unrequited love reveals itself in a different light. And on his birthday, a message arrives from beyond the grave that feels impossible to explain and impossible to forget.

The island no longer offers escape, only reflection.

? Ten Thousand Hours in Paradise: Tribulations chronicles a deep inner transformation on Hawaii, through meditation, vulnerability, and radical self-inquiry. Luminous, honest, and immersive, Tribulations is for readers drawn to true stories of healing, consciousness, and the unsettling beauty of change.

Continue the journey today. Take the next step deeper into paradise.
