I wasn't sure what to expect from the synopsis of this book. Then Dan introduces himself and paints a clear picture of what I can expect. He illustrates that the original title was ‘The voice in my head is an asshole.' Immediately I knew I was in capable hands.

I won't ruin the book for you. I will, however, offer two pieces of advice for those of us in high stakes professions looking for “something.”

1- Read the book. More specifically, read it with an open mind. The biographical nature is necessary, and, I found, quite helpful.

2- If you respond to this message as I did, keep your newly inspired energy at bay. Dan provides excellent practical advice throughout, but the final chapter & epilogue will set you up for success. Before you lurch into the unknown, let him provide some insight. It will save you time.
