Novel Trivandrum
You have it in you. You'll find it.
Do you also feel like we live disconnected from ourselves, not understanding what's happening to us, and we often drown our discomfort by drinking, overeating or burning it off with extreme sports? Kindergarten, elementary, high school, college and first job. Constant chase for efficiency and evaluation…
We can walk as fast as we want, but if we're going in the wrong direction, it's worse than staying put.
Trivandrum
flashes from behind the veil
"We live in a space limited by our perception. By sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. In contrast, the world behind the veil most often reveals itself to us through feelings. When you close your eyes and immerse yourself within, you know that matter isn't everything."
Let yourself be drawn into the fairy-tale reality of the story and set out with the main characters on a journey through lands long lost in time. They will be your guides through a landscape for which no map exists.
For contemplative souls who seek their place in life, everyday beauty and light among the shadows.
This book is for you if:
👣 you're going through difficult life situations,
🔎 you're searching for deeper life connections,
🤔 you want to give life meaning,
🧵 you're untangling twisted knots of inner feelings,
🥷 you're battling your prejudices,
💩 or you're facing suddenly surfaced unpleasant memories.

Who wrote the book Trivandrum?
My name is Tomáš Shejbal and I enjoy diving beyond the boundaries of worlds that at first glance shouldn't meet at all. One moment I'm immersing myself in technical details while creating websites, writing articles for the Bull's Treats blog, or listening to music and sipping tea while imprinting emotions and my inner world into words.
On one side I'm fascinated by logic, on the other by creativity. I'm full of similar apparent contradictions - you'll find me somewhere between reading and writing, scootering and couch lounging, metal and mantras, dreaming and working, anxiety and energetic enthusiasm, observing the world around me and diving within myself.
Někdy hledám, jindy jen pozoruju, někdy nacházím pěknou žumpu, jindy drahokamy. Právě tohle napětí je společně s potřebou růstu a přispívání mou hnací silou.
Why do you need to have Trivandrum?
The book doesn't force anything on you, the story flows and from time to time gently strikes the right chord.
No tasks await you, no lists, no waving around the latest research, no wise sayings. What you ultimately take away from the book is up to you.
I deliberately set the story's backdrop in a fairy-tale reality so you'd have distance from today's times. You'll move into the developing Buklandia, the 'religious' Ecelátia, and mysterious Vingard. However, the inner processes of the main characters are the same as mine and yours.
Trivandrum will give you a huge portion of hope, will be your companion and guide (as the novel was to me while writing it).
The first reading isn't the end of the journey. You'll gladly come back to the book.

Q&A
Wouldn't it be easier to get a book focused on personal development? Maybe yes. But Trivandrum doesn't have ambitions to compete with professional books. It's wisdom, love, hope, adventure and lessons wrapped in a nice story.
There are already enough books like this, aren't there? There are never enough books like this. 🙂 Working on yourself is endless. And as is well known: repetition is the mother of wisdom.
Won't it be overly preachy? Not at all. I avoided "wise sayings." The ones that still crept into the book were spotted by beta readers.
I don't really like those smart books where the author is the "master" and teaches everyone else. Me neither! I'm no guru Jarda. I wrote primarily for myself and only started thinking about readers during the first edits. So you won't encounter anything like that.
So is it the new Monk Who Sold His Ferrari? No. That one is good, but in my opinion it lacks plot and limps literarily on one leg.
So the new Alchemist? I really love The Alchemist, but no. Trivandrum goes deeper beneath the surface, into inner experience, subconscious and sometimes even superconscious.
