Mother Daughter Entertainment is proud to announce the development of a narrative feature film and a companion documentary inspired by The Enlightened Passenger, a transformative book that seamlessly blends self-help wisdom with the power of storytelling.
At the heart of The Enlightened Passenger is the story of Robert Stapleton, a man who epitomizes the trappings of North American success—a luxury car, a prestigious watch, and the confidence of someone who seems to have it all. Yet beneath the polished exterior, Robert is adrift, unknowingly searching for deeper meaning. His path takes an unexpected turn when he finds himself seated next to Trebor (“Treb”), an unconventional yet enlightened traveler who begins to challenge Robert’s perceptions of life, love, and purpose. Over the course of a single flight, Treb shares ten life-changing lessons, drawing from the insights of over 7,500 of the world’s top leaders.
The book, written by Corey Poirier, has been widely praised for its transformative power, drawing comparisons to classics such as The Alchemist and The Celestine Prophecy. Poirier, a five-time TEDx speaker, and Forbes columnist, has dedicated his career to uncovering the fundamental principles of success and fulfillment, making The Enlightened Passenger a must-read in the world of personal development and storytelling.

A Companion Documentary: A Deeper Exploration of Transformation
