Jakub Trpi?

Jakub Trpis is a Czech author whose debut novel, The Choice, has sold over

100,000 copies worldwide, making it one of the most successful Czech novels

of the past decade. Writing in what he calls "tech-healing fiction," Trpis

blends the suspense of a psychological thriller with profound insights into

depression, consciousness, and personal transformation.

His work draws on neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy to create stories

that do more than entertain — they shift how readers see themselves and the

world. The Choice follows a man sinking into depression who encounters a

therapist whose unorthodox methods lead to a breathtaking twist that has left

readers rethinking the nature of happiness and the soul.

Trpis is also the author of Soul (2025), a novel exploring consciousness

and healing; the Landie trilogy, a philosophical fantasy series; and Revolution,

a dystopian thriller about national identity. His books have been translated

into German, Polish, and English.

Based in the Czech Republic, Trpis writes for anyone who has ever asked

themselves whether there is more to life than what meets the eye — and

suspects the answer is yes.
