Jakub differs from other authors, and so do his books. When writing, he changes positions, jumps genres and revisits different views of the world.

“The Choice changed my life,” Jakub says. “I truly believe that it can help people all around the world. Don’t let your failures stop you. Try to learn and grow from these failures. We all deserve to be happy, but the most important thing is to truly decide on this. I wrote The Choice to help people with this important decision.

You can buy a copy (of the e-book or the printed book) at my official website https://www.jakubtrpis.com/. An autograph and personal dedication go without saying. You can also follow me on my profile. My second book is right now being translated into English and will come o ...more

When I grew up I started to read books about personal growth, spirituality, happiness and I changed my opinions and basic beliefs in my life. I realized that my parents didn’t tell me lot of things. That time I was at university and I still didn’t want to be a writer. I really loved working on my diploma thesis, but this is far from writing a novel, right? After a school I started my blog, where I wrote 100+ articles in 5 years. Many people liked them, but at that time I still didn’t know that I will be writer one day. You might think that I was stupid because it was so obvious, and you are right :-D

Everything changed in 2011, when inspiration for my first book came to me. It was very strong and strange feeling, so much ideas, that I had to start write The Choice immediately. For me writing is way how to connect to my soul, to my deepest fears and desires. Later I found out that I can connect through my books with another people and this is the best way how I can communicate with you. I can share the wisdom which is inside of all of us so both of us can have happier and more fulfilled life.
The Choice became a bestseller in Czech Republic (small country in the middle of Europe) and helped thousands of people already. I am trying it in rest of the world now. I never been so happy that I listened to my soul and stared to write. I can’t image my life without it.

PS: I know that my English isn’t the best one, but no worries - my translator is native speaker and really great guy, so there are no mistakes. Sometimes I think that he translated much better then I wrote it.

Have a great day! Jakub (less)

Jakub Trpiš liked Verča Machačová's review of Duše: "Musím se přiznat k jedné věci – fantasy je mi na míle vzdálené. Přesně s takovým odstupem a mírnou skepsí jsem ke knize zpočátku přistupovala. O to větší to byl šok. Kniha "Duše" od Jakuba Trpiše totiž není jen příběh. Je to kniha, která vás dojme a o" Read more of this review »

Jakub Trpiš and 1 other person liked Nikol Náhlá's review of Duše: "Kniha je o Hugovi, který se probudí ve vlaku bez vzpomínek a vydává se na cestu vlastním nitrem. Prolíná se v ní psychologie, neurověda i virtuální realita, a i když to není úplně moje téma, četlo se to velmi dobře. Měla jsem u toho plno aha momentů, " Read more of this review »

“Doubts are normal, but you must not allow them to overwhelm you. Anger, feelings of guilt are a gift. They tell you that you are dreaming a bad dream. They show you that you are living a false story. They warn you that you are living an irrelevant situation”

“Life is too short. Don't wait for anything; just submerge yourself in it. Seek beauty in everything. Rejoice in the little things and let the large things go.”
